To be Better or Different? That is the question.

Last week in a training class I heard the strangest quote. It has completely puzzled me ever since.

"Don't do anything different. JUST DO EVERYTHING BETTER."

I am completely perplexed. From the surface, I understand this. In order to accomplish something, I don't have to do anything different from other people- I just have to learn to do those same things better. Seems simple, riiight? Not necessarily.

Not if I want to be different, at least. What if I want others to notice a difference in me? Just doing "different" things won't be enough. I need to do a little extra to be extra-ordinary.

This quote is still perplexing me. I see both sides! If there are verses that support one way or the other, I cannot think of them. So if you know some, please alert the masses!
