Zlatan Ibrahimovic on rejecting normality and choosing to be the best. He argues confidence, not arrogance, drives the difference you make. The conversation connects this to recruiting: most agents quit because they settle for average, but who actually wants that.

My philosophy is, why be normal when you can be the best? I don't want to be normal. I want to make the difference. So everything I do, I want to make the difference. Because when I make the difference, I'm the best. And that is not arrogance, that is confidence.
I like that. I've had a lot of people ask me over the years, like, in a recruiting situation— he said normal, I'm going to use the word average— I've had a lot of people ask me what the average agent does. What's the average guy sell? What's the average girl sell? What's the— and I'm like, the average person quits. Like, is that really what you want, is to be average? That's how I would literally take these recruiting calls. I love it.
