Fear began to creep in. He couldn’t find a job because of one simple reason: He was blending in with the masses. Panic began to race through his mind. "Seriously, what the hell am I doing here?" He took a deep breath, stepped back and assessed the situation. And then a stroke of genius hit him.He was going to be bold. Inspiring. Outrageous. Awkward. Funny.
