Madly In Hate
Friday 24 October 2008 @ 11:39 pm | By Ivan LozanoWhen reaching out to others there is a myth that you can get everyone to like you, or at the very least, stop anyone from disliking you. It is bullshit, and I can prove it. Name one important person, company or cause in history that is universally liked or hated. If you drew a blank is because anything that stands up for something will inevitably be rejected by some.
Those who are remarkable take a stance, they know who and what they are and they are comfortable with it. The leaders, the rebels, the agents of change in our world are never universally liked. To be liked by everyone is a practical impossibility and to be liked by most you have to compromise your core beliefs to the point where you become bland and gray.
When you are genuine about who you are many will love you and many will hate you. Don’t fear their dislike, embrace it, because it means you are remarkable. It means you are worth a strong opinion and no amount of advertising in the world can buy that. Be bold, be authentic, never bland, never gray.
Cuando se trata de acercarnos a un público existe un mito de que puedes lograr agradarle a todos, o por lo menos evitar que les desagrades. Es una estupidez y lo puedo probar. Menciona una persona, compañia o causa en la historia que haya sido universalmente amada u odiada. Si no te vino nada a la mente es por que cualquiera que sostiene una posición será inevitablemente rechazado por algunos
Aquellos que son notables tienen una postura, saben quien y que son y están cómodos con ello. Los líderes, los rebeldes, los agentes del cambio del mundo nunca son universalmente queridos. Ser querido por todos es una imposibilidad práctica y para ser querido por la mayoría hay que comprometer lo que creemos a tal punto que nos volvemos aguados y grises.
Cuando eres genuino sobre quien eres muchos te amaran y muchos te odiaran. No le temas a su desprecio, dale la bienvenida, pues significa que vales el tener una opinión fuerte al respecto y ninguna cantidad de publicidad puede comprar eso. Se audaz, se autentico, nunca aguado, nunca gris.
