To Win the Game, Be Distinguishable
2025 Season in Review, Part 8.
I will add that you can't be remarkable by doing what others do. The key to winning admission acceptances is distinguishing yourself from the norm and standing out from others.
Distinguish- to notice or recognize a difference between people or things; make oneself prominent and worthy of respect through one's behavior or achievements.
Or you can be indistinguishable.
Indistinguishable- not able to be identified as different or distinct; impossible to judge as different when compared to another similar thing.
The world rewards people who distinguish themselves favorably. That could be just 1 in 10 kids and adults, though Scott Galloway might say 1 in 100.
High school and college students who distinguish themselves favorably will win college acceptances and desired job offers. Their habits are consistent with one another.
People who default to being indistinguishable, doing what everyone else is doing, will be left wondering what happened. Their habits are also consistent.
To be distinguishable, adopt this mindset. It's centered around things in your control:
- Get up early to get your day going
- Live each day with meaningful intention
- Have a defined purpose for your interests
- Build a Profile for Success
- Become a great writer and speaker
- Increase your preparedness
- Master the content
- Follow up with precision timing
- Become fluent in a second language
- Think globally and be world-aware
You will become more interesting to others. You will draw positive energy. People will recognize you as worthy of their consideration. Your outcomes will be significantly enhanced.
