Contrarian

Being a contrarian shouldn't be confused with ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder).

Only choose to be different when the crowd chooses fluffy fallacies.

When the crowd chooses to embrace degrading humor and carping criticism, choose genuine praise and ennobling words.

If the crowd asserts apathy, then actively aspire to rescue.

When the crowd sells, buy quality at a deep discount.

Earlier today an acquaintance advised me to forget about involving several young friends in a service project.

Perhaps he thought it would take too much time to invite them.

I heard him, but chose to ask the youth help.

They did help and we enjoyed a good time working together.

Contrary to popular belief, Contrarians such as Warren Buffet feel invigorated swimming against the current.
