How to be successful at your profession

Check out this manifesto about "How to be a creative in architecture". When reading this manifesto, however, insert your profession where he has "architect". Josh's points about success are applicable to most any profession.

From my perspective, the key to success is to be the CrackerJack in a box of caramel corn, the cherry on top of the sundae, the olive in the Martini. That is, stand out! Be the "awe" in awesome! Be the "out" in outstanding! Be the "differ" in different.! Put the "serve" in service.! You get my point.
