People are individuals but are not unique?

What is the Internet?

a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.

Have a look at the internet, type something in the search engine and you will find what you are looking for. Either negative of positive, there are people before us that have put their thoughts down, expressed the same thinking as you.  Some people think that they are the only ones that think or feel in a certain way, but this is not true.

We are individuals but we are not unique.  When having a discussion with a friend, the friend is positive that he is right and you are wrong.  Go on the internet and you will find results both in favour of your friend and yourself.

For example :  Different sides to the coin, using positive punishment and negative punishment.  Neither of them is wrong. Just different ways of approaching the problem, what method would be more likely to work?

What is Positive Punishment:
Positive punishment works by presenting a negative consequence after an undesired behavior is exhibited, making the behavior less likely to happen in the future. 

What is Negative Punishment:
Negative punishment happens when a certain desired stimulus/item is removed after a particular undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening less often in the future. 

Understanding what a "individual" should be ......

What is an Individual

Individual - Meaning a person who acts in the way they want to and is not bound by the sad rules of soceity, live life forifilling goals for their self-esteem. These people do not conform to the 'masses' and are therefore swarn enemy to the common Townie etc... An individual has their 'own' mind and seeks enlightenment through completing personal tasks set by themselves and are not influenced by someone elses opinion simply because they are 'popular'.  They dress how they want to dress, listen to what they want to listen to and do what they want to do and normally people respect that. An individual hates to be labeled.

People might be individuals but they are not unique as they act like sheep.

People really do act like sheep

If a ​group of people are (like) sheep, they all ​behave in the same way or all behave as they are told, and cannot or will not act individually or be individuals in the true sense of the word.

What's more unpleasant to see than the herd spirit in humans? The manipulation led to the stage when humans behave like dumb sheep. Many times you may have wondered what the hell you were doing or how the heck you had got amongst a gang of seemingly idiots.

The majority of people act like sheep, they seem not to be able to think for themselves and do what is know how to them.  They are neither individuals and they differently are not unique.  To be unique ..... is to think outside the box, think for yourself and found other answers and solutions, it might surprise you, that everything could change, become a whole lot better.

Thinking outside the box

Meaning - Think creatively, unimpeded by orthodox or conventional constraints.

'Think outside the box' originated in the USA in the late 1960s/early 1970s.

"We must step back and see if the solutions to our problems lie outside the box."

The 'box', with its implication of rigidity and squareness, symbolises constrained and unimaginative thinking. This is in contrast to the open and unrestricted 'out of the box' or 'blue-sky' thinking. 

The encouragement to look for solutions from outside our usual thinking patterns was championed in the UK by Edward De Bono, the psychologist and inventor, who coined the term Lateral Thinking in 1967 and went on to develop it as a method of structured creativity.

Thinking outside the box would mean that you cast off the atmosphere that envelops you, step out of the box, leave all your experiences, mindsets and attitudes behind and start to view things from a completely different perspective: outside of the box; unfiltered, unbiased, open for suggestions, willing to empathize with others opinions, but also ready to swim against the flood and to think what no one else has ever thought of. It also means that you leave everything behind you thought you would know, everything that was thought to you in school and start to approach specific situations and problems from a completely different point of view than you did before.

Thinking outside the box, makes the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people!

Be Unique!!!

Successful People And Unsuccessful People
There is always a clear cut difference between the successful and the unsuccessful. The difference in habits and decisions give birth to what is either being talked about or what is not. Adjusting and aligning your thoughts with successful people will start to have a profound effect on how people see you. It will also help in understanding the daily habits that successful people use to fine tune their values and standards.

To define the actions of successful people, John Paul De Joria, the billionaire behind brand names such as Paul Michell hair products and Patron tequila, explains what a ‘successful’ person is: “Successful people do all the things that unsuccessful people don’t want to do.”

Success has elements attached to it from hard work, determination and perseverance. It goes beyond the desire to be successful and reaches in to taking action to make a difference. 
To think outside the box!

A Promise of Success
by Michael Sage

Ones potential is so huge, and so vast,
Yet, why is it, that so many fail, and usually come last?,
So few truly succeed, that when they do, others are jealous and totally aghast,
Let’s all believe in success, and I promise that failure will be part of the past.

The things you think, and the things you believe,
If they are true, then those are the things that you will achieve,
But if your thoughts are false, or they are used to deceive,
You’ll be stabbed in the back, and that is a promise that you had better believe.

Get rid of depression, worry and fear,
Because success is so often so very, very near,
Tell your subconscious , “success is mine”, and tell it to hear,
Remind it often, then success will be yours, that is a promise, my dear.

Just ask the “DIVINE”, for whatever you desire,
For happiness or abundance, or anything else to which you aspire,
It’s now time to succeed, so go ahead, set your goals, and light that fire,
Do it with passion, and I promise you this, you’ll soar higher and higher.
