Your USP is your Enemy # 1

Yes .. that is right. At times the things in which you are really good at , the thing in which people consider your the best is the one thing which will turn out to be your worst enemy .. well you might be thinking why I am making this contradicting statement...

For those people who agree with the above statement ( my post's title ) my blog ends here..
But for those people who are wondering what i am trying to tell .. Let me share a small little Experience with you ..

I being a Architectural student, got to always present my drawing to the jurors during the Jury So as to make a Interesting Presentation I used little bit of Photoshop to make my final sheets look more appealing and eye catching And yes i could make a decent portfolio for the jury. Well then the turn out was not what i was looking forward to, instead of checking my Design and commenting on the DESIGN ASPECT of the project, they(jurors) looked at the presentation and commented on my Look of the portfolio , so the so called DESIGN JURY was not a design jury at all...
And even my classmates who are suppose to critize my design [ the tradition of Architectural students is to critize your counterparts DESIGN and find faults in it ] did not even bother to look at my design and check out its workabilty ....
What i am trying to say here is "PEOPLE ALWAY JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER PAGE" so most of the times dont even bother to read it..

My Solution for this is "if your really good at some thing , dont over shine it"
