“Originality is unexplored territory. You get there by carrying a canoe; you can’t take a taxi.”

- Alan Alda

Never fear being yourself. Never fear saying something first. Never fear offering up a novel idea or approach. At work, those who come up with a brand new, improved, more efficient or more profitable idea attract the attention of those who hire and promote. Sure, you may at times seem “off the trail,” but these days at work, more and more, “off the trail” is in short supply and great demand.
