Be yourself. Being a slave to conformity is one of the most fundamental of all dishonesties. When we reject our specialness, water down our God-given individuality and uniqueness, we begin to lose our freedom. The conformist is in no way a free man. He has to follow the herd. We need more “characters” among us, who do not weakly conform to standardized ways of behaving, people not afraid to be “different.” Men and women who accomplish the most in this world are almost always “characters” in the sense that they are not afraid to be themselves regardless of what fashion or the “in” attitude dictates.
