SINGULAR

There’s a saying that to shine like the sun, you must burn like the sun. But I often wonder, do we truly want to shine like the sun, or do we seek recognition? I believe most of us crave being recognized or valued. When we shine, it sets us apart, creating the allure of differentiation. If our sky had a thousand suns, none would be as awe-inspiring—they’d become ordinary. We cherish what’s novel, unique, one-of-a-kind. That’s why I resonate with the idea that scarcity creates value. Choose your battles wisely, for it’s uniqueness that draws admiration and leaves a lasting impact.
