We work so hard at attempting to 'fit in' or 'adapt' that sometime we forget, it's our individuality that really matters.
If you don't believe me, you need only read a few posts for employment - blah, blah, blah - yuk! Really?  Do you want to work for an organization which has the individuality of a floor tile (different colours and designs, but, they're all flat)? Or would you rather express yourself in your work? Oddly enough, the answer to that question is often, no.  I know people who just want to be told what to do and how to do it and then let them get it done. I've had that experience when asking someone if they would like to do something beyond what they're regular work is and they've said, no. No? And of course, being who I am, I've asked, why not?
