Conventional is a good fallback position.

So you have a bit of a conventional approach to a task you’ve being given at work, yet you’re too scared to run with it in fear of what others might say?Nonsense, what’s the worst that could happen – Someone may not agree with you? Well at least then you know that you have tried!
It’s always good to think out of the box and a bit different from the majority, after all that is what makes each and everyone one of us unique individuals is it not?
With that said, I do however agree to a certain extent with the above statement, but with a slight change – conventional should be an option, not a fallback.
In life, one should always have a Plan A, B and C in order to ensure that whatever decision needs to be made or task needs to be completed, you have thought it through to an extent where you have different plans on how you could possibly tackle it.
Thinking things through, as mentioned above, also gives you the opportunity to have the end result in mind which is a good way to start a task or make a decision. This is what drives you to complete whatever comes your way, knowing that you can take the take the safe route and if that doesn’t ‘wow the crowd’ you can always go for something conventional, and well, if that still doesn’t work, you’ve always got Plan C!
What should always be remembered is that each and every one of us are unique and will tackle a situation differently to the next person. What may seem ‘normal’ to one may be ‘conventional to the other, hence always have options!
