▶ Your Answer :
There is some discrepancy over whether being different from others is beneficial for success. Some people suggest that being different is not good way to success because people are not familiar with the difference. However, I firmly believe that the difference is one of the most important component of success. The reasons are as follow. To begin with, the consumers usually pay attention to the new and unfamiliar one. people who want to success should be able to think about innovation. People no longer focus on the boring items or the familiar products. If we stick in outdated items, we may fall behind others. For example, there are a lot of people who led the world's changes and achieved success such as Edison and Newton. To be specific, Edison was good at invent something new. His invention was very innovative at that time. His approach to the simple subjects was different from others. Also, Newton achieved success in discovering a significant formula. This discovery had a great impact on human's lives until now. Like them, people who achieve success have something different from others. in addition, people should become different from others because there are a lot of competition. If people are similar with others, they cannot help enduring an arduous competition. In business word, such situation is called 'Red Ocean'. On the other hand, the condition with little competition is called 'Blue Ocean'. People who want to accomplish success should concentrate on Blue Ocean in order to avoid a lot of competers. My father had an experience related to this point. During my middle school years, he had prepared opening a cafe because cafe was a popular source among people at that time. Before starting, he researched a variety of things such as the tax, the coffee bean's price and the location. Aftermath, he opened a cafe nearby the Busan National university. However, he could not consider one of the important things. There were already a lot of cafes in front of that school. Therefore, most of cafes already had their patron. In conclusion, his cafe did not have any difference from other cafes and it was inevitable that he could not achieve success. To sum up, I stand for proponents of the view that being different from others is advantageous to achieve success for two reasons : The consumers are not interested in already familiar items. And also it is good for people to avoid a lot of competition. |
