So many times I've been in situations that I would just want to spark and blow my top because people do things the same way over and over again, people are too conventional.I know that here in Africa, we have this belief in tradition, we believe in things being done in a particular method. For instance each tribe has its methods to cooking, it's style of dressing, it's mode of singing and all. But aren't we bored of doing things the same way every time ?
I call myself an anomaly. Why? Because I believe that things should be done differently and we should not be too conventional about things and with the way we do things. I believe that I am a deviation from the common goal, I don't know if I have people who think like I do. But if I do, I'll be soo happy.Anytime I think about this particular topic I remember the Disney movie, High School Musical. It is about a basketballer ..... I don't think I should explain the movie, for I assume everyone has watched it , if not please go and do so. So as I was saying, there was a part in the movie that a song was sung about sticking to the status quo, about sticking to what you are and the group you belong to and all.
It took people like Troy, Gabriella and that chef guy etc to change this caveman attitude that we can always diversify and break the status quo. Who says that a jock can't be a singer and a geek or let me say book worm can't dance.There are a lot of things that we hold on to, like talents and all that we hide because we are afraid of what people would say or think of us , or what it would make us look like. That should not be our mindset, we should always be free with who we are and learn to do things differently. For the people that know me y'all know that I like to do things differently and I am usually tagged as weird and not normal. But until we learn to break from the status quo, progress might be a fable.
