What's the Greatest Thing about Being a Centennial?

There is a humorous story told about a 104-year-old lady who was asked what was the greatest part of her life. After contemplating the question, thinking about how she could answer it, she hilariously replied, "No peer pressure." She did not have to worry about appeasing anyone who was her age- because there wasn't anyone who was her age.

Peer pressure is synonymous with life itself. Seemingly, from the crib, people pressure others to conform to the status quo. This phenomenon is even present in the animal kingdom. For example, those who catch blue crabs in the Atlantic Ocean say that if you catch only one crab, you have to keep a lid on the bucket you are holding him in. However, if you catch more than one, you don't have to worry about a lid. Why? Because if a crab tries to escape, his friends will pull him down. They hold him back. Their thinking is, "If we can't escape, neither can you."

Since peer pressure is inevitable, how can you combat it when it begins to slow down your progress in life? First, you can dare to be different. Choose not to conform to the existing state of affairs. Average leads to a boring life. Conformers don't change the world, but non-conformers move and shape and direct the happenings of the world.

However, the advice to be different must be balanced by a resolve to be real. Trying to change the world without being yourself will result in disappointment, distress, and failure. Authenticity, however, as a person remains true to his moral compass, will achieve success while allowing for one to maintain a clear conscience.
