Short excerpt from a YouTube interview between Josh Trent and Alex Charfen arguing that being "different" is a strength and a calling: the universe gives individuals a message to change the world and make a massive contribution. Alex describes studying successful people and realizing those remembered are often "different." The excerpt cites Thomas Edison (sent home from school) and Albert Einstein (struggled early academically) as examples of late-recognized geniuses, and emphasizes a personality type that departs from norms.

The fact that you're different from everyone.
Else is exactly.
The message given you by the universe. That you are here to change the world. You are here to make a massive contribution, and no one should tell.
You otherwise. When I was a kid, I thought I was so fundamentally removed from this thing called success that I would never get there. I started obsessing over the lives of successful people to understand why there are certain people that we remember. There are certain people that matter to be remembered. And, Josh, I thought I was going to go out and find this, like, incredible specimen of a human being that was so much different than me. But what I found was the opposite.
What I found was, over and over.
Again, that the.
People who change the.
World are the people who are different.
Than all of us. Thomas Edison was.
Sent home at 5 years old because he was too slow.
To go to school. Look what he did. Albert Einstein couldn't tie his shoes or remember his phone number and failed algebra, and he's fucking Albert Einstein.
And so there's this.
Personality type in.
The world that looks at the world differently. The people in the world who are getting up every morning, going into the future, creating new reality.
