First of all, what is a misfit? The list of character traits and talents an individual has which he/she thinks doesn't serve the community well. Don't try to google it. Definitely, it's not a dictionary owned definition :)
For so long, I thought I'm a misfit to society which made me suppress my talents and character traits that made me who I am. Because of that, I lost myself in the process of becoming a fitter member of society.
If you've talents and traits different from the crowd, pat on the back!! You're different. This is what matters for building up your personal brand, which stands out from the crowd.
If Sachin thought I should be a musician or A.R.Rahman thought I should be a cricketer, either of them might not get to the position where they are now.
There are so many talents that get wasted because of suppressing it with them. Embracing you as who you are at the core is what matters for a peaceful, happy and successful life.
Let's take a resolution to remove our masks and show the real you to the people around you. Let us also help others to embrace their talents. If you can't appreciate their talents, at least don't humiliate them.
If it fits others then it's not you anyways...
