I decided that thinking and doing things differently to the average person was necessary to be better than average, but it would sometimes make me stand out as different. The way to deal with this was to embrace it, have fun with it and try to enjoy it. I also decided to develop the ability to switch things round in my head, so that when I was faced with a problem I didn’t react to it, but instead I responded to it by finding something positive and useful in it.
