Got any examples?
I just have always marched to the beat of my own drummer.....always did my own thing dressed as I pleased...I never cared what people thought about me, I respected myself...that is what matters....got away with a lot....one example, when I first started working in my current profession, after completing my first masters degree it was expected that I dress formaly...you know, professional....I wore jeans all the time regardless, not like a slob...but jeans none the less and got away with it..it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, perhaps because my superiors never told me I had to stop wearing them....I was good at my job, I knew it, they knew it...I was going to dress as I saw fit...
Another example...I have several tattoos, started getting them in NH when I was 16, I was told I'd never get a job or be taken seriously because of them.....wrong again.....even at my age now...(46) I'm still getting new tattoos....
Two small examples
I've gained skills as I've matured...as a kid it got me into a lot of trouble....for doing as I pleased...now i have honed it into a science :karate:

ExactlyHey, its your life. You gotta live it the way you see fit
As long as you're willing to take responsibility for your actions I don't see a problem...for example if they had fired me for wearing jeans all the time I would not have blamed them, after all it was my choice....but they never did
You've gotta own who you are...good, bad, indifferent...
"I am what I am"
That's my next tattoo btw...on the lower outside of left arm hopefully in June...
