Being Different - Curse or a Blessing?

I had a post with a similar title, but it was about another approach to this topic, so please bear with me...

From the very beginning, I was different. My family has descendants in another country, and I have been born as a foreigner in my country of birth... All my childhood I have tried to fit in... To be like any other kid... But I have been marked as different immediately... I had a different name and surname than any other in my class...

So blending into the masses didn't go well... lol... Especially when I was just one of the two or three children in the class that was asking the questions when we didn't understand something. That didn't mean that we were stupid as our grades were showing a different story...

I just was a curious kid that wanted to know the truth about why some things are happening, and why is something like my teacher said. (maybe I had problems with authorities... lol...)

Interestingly, when we find ourselves in some new surroundings, we try to be the same as any other in the group... Like I have tried when I was a child... To be like others... I don't' know if that was in the schooling agenda, or it's just my personal feeling...

Imagine the world without some visionaries from the past, from the present, and from the future? How would our world look like today?
We would probably still lived in caves.

I have tried to touch some of these things in my vlog, but more focused on our Hive and social media journey...

Thank you for your valuable time,
