If chaps like Pythagoras (yes that guy with the triangles that you learnt about in school who’s rule has frequently come into use during every day life) and other Greek philosophers didn’t have the original thought then would we still believe the earth was flat? What prompted Benjamin Franklin to do what he did for electricity?
In the world that we live in today, we are still bombarded with the shrapnel of the advertising industry playing to the same old tune. For instance every supermarket ad you see whether that be the Asda or the Tesco advert on TV today has about as much originality as the guy who starts his own personal blog thinking that people care about his opinion.The adverts we see these days are barely worth watching. Admittedly there are the odd exceptions (the Hovis advert is incredible in my eyes) but we still shop at the same old shops and these brands do tremendously well despite the fact that the medium of advertising in this way is getting tedious.
When then is the guy who doesn’t think inside the box and decides to reach outside it and take a stab in the dark going to get the credit and worth he deserves? I believe that is today.
Today with the mind-numbing opportunities of getting our voice out there and heard using blogging and the like we can’t all be lemmings following other bloggers off over the cliff into the abyss of melancholy. To be heard ; be original.
All you have to do is search for Apple Blog on Google to see that every man and his dog have their opinion. Admittedly a dog doing a blog would be an original idea but we have to do this effectively also.
What though if we go too far outside the box until the box is just an unrecognisable dot in the distance? There isn’t even a box anymore you can never go too far out the box. People now have their niche too break out too. There are other people out their for you to meet with and spread and connect with to learn tips from and generally get more into what you are interested in. For instance on the internet there’s a website about a man who has sex with cars and they have forums each to their own but what I’m saying is that their are niches and money to be made everywhere.
What I’m saying is just go for it if you want to start a blog. If you have a blog be more original. As long as you can be effective and original what have you got to loose?
With this post I will again finish with another quote:
“You’ve gotta be original, because if you’re like someone else, what do they need you for?” – Bernadette Peters
