[On Steve Jobs] Don't Let Them Kill Your Inner James Potter

There seems to be a universal law that all your weird traits become secret factors of your success once you make it.

Consider this:

James Potter was a troublemaker growing up--reeking havoc on Hogwarts and becoming the bane of Snape's existence. Being such a rule breaker lead James to sneaking around with his friends as "Misters Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail." They learned a staggering amount of illegal magic, plus devised the Maurader's Map.

Had they followed the status quo, none of this ever would have happened.

What I love is that this applies to real life, too. Here's how Steve Jobs is a perfect example and exactly what that means for you:

What's one way you're a bit of a James Potter? OR What traits do you have that set you apart but aren't always seen as wonderful?

I am willful. When I believe in something I stay with that idea--and when drastically don't believe in it I rebel. I am constantly learning to accept that there will always see this persistence as annoying. Just because your ideas don't mesh perfectly with the standard doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them--sometimes it means it's time to raise the standard.

So tell me, what are your James Potter/Steve Jobs traits? ↓ ↓ ↓
