How to use your strength as an outsider | Samuel Kasumu | TEDxSoho?

You can use your strength as an outsider to see things others might miss, just like a new friend who brings fresh ideas to your game.

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek in the park with your friends. You've played there every day, so you know all the best hiding spots, behind the tree, under the bench, inside the slide. But one day, a new kid joins the game. They haven’t played here before, and they choose to hide behind a big rock that no one else thought of. When it's time to find them, you're surprised because you didn't know that spot was there.

That new kid is like an outsider, and their fresh perspective helped everyone see something new. Being an outsider isn’t a weakness, it’s a chance to bring something different to the group.

Sometimes, people who are used to a place or a way of doing things might miss small but important details. An outsider can notice those details because they’re looking at everything with fresh eyes, just like your new friend did with that big rock.
