People
will remember things for different reasons; sometimes good, sometimes bad. But
when it comes to making an impression on the world, especially in a time when
very little is new and unique, all it takes is a little style and technique.
Terry
Pratchett, an American novelist, once said, “If cats looked like frogs, we’d
realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That’s what people
remember.” That pretty much says it all. Looking at a cat, whether you like
them or not, one can’t help but notice and admire their elegance, their
graceful movements, their inherent style.
Even when they’re doing something like licking themselves, it’s not disgusting
in light of the poised manner they do it in.
Even
the way that cats play with their prey doesn’t really seem like something
pitiless and ruthless, but a catch that takes precision. And toying with that
prey – not enough to kill it – is quite an act to watch.
Most
of us have something that makes us stand out from others. Isn’t that what’s so
great about being individuals? We don’t have to mould our uniqueness, we should
just find that something that we do a little differently, in a style that no
one else does, and let that be what people remember about us.
