Normalacy?

     People are generally taken back & shocked when others decide to step outside the box of comfortability & normalacy & behave in a way that is considered unconventional or unacceptable. Something that not everyone seems to realize in today's world is that not everyone will think the same. We all have different opinions, ideas & views on things. Someone who is an example of thinking different is Don Haskins from the film Glory Road. In a particular scene he said, "I don't see colour. I see quick, I see skill. . .", Don Haskins was making it clear that the racial factors of another person did not matter to him, what really mattered was your ability. This was important because he was the one who was going to make a difference & possibly help others see past the things that do not matter. Don Haskins was going to be an example to the rest about being fair. In life, when you start to step out of that box, you will see all these different opportunities that you can have or give to someone else. Don Haskins, a white basketball coach, proved to a black student that his colour did not matter; what mattered was what that student brought to the table. You can do the same, it does not have to do anything with race, it can simply be speaking your mind in a confined environment. Letting your voice be heard is one was of stepping out of that box. If you are able to open your mind, you will go far.
