Upstaging Usain
Wed, Aug 10, 2022
Imagine Usain Bolt is about to run a 100m dash with 7 other athletes.
The race begins and Usain, as always, leaps to lead the athletes from the start itself.
At that point, imagine that one of the athletes stops and runs the other way.
For the next 9 seconds, whom will your eyes gaze upon more?
Usain Bolt, who seems with every passing second, to be the clear leader and eventual winner?
Or, the lesser known athlete, who hasn’t made it clear why he is running the other way, or where he is headed?
Takeaway
The leader captures the expected prize. The different dude captures our unexpected attention.
Whom would your eyes gaze upon more for those 9 seconds? Share with me here.
Normal is not something to aspire to, it’s something to get away from.
