Taste Test

You may go to work or school because it is required of you.  Most people have a daily routine that consists of normal tasks that are common.  There may not be a lot of individuality or preference involved for those things.  However, you probably do make some choices based on your personal tastes.  You might prefer a certain type of music, movie, or food.  What you like and dislike says a lot about you.  Do you want to change your image or strengthen your current brand?  Try some new things.  Do a taste test to see what fits you.  A taste test is not a pass or fail situation.  There is no right or wrong answer.     

It might surprise you to learn that there are often similarities between two things that appear to be very different.  For example, if you like blues music, you may also enjoy country and western music.  Both genres tend to tell stories of love, loss, and resilience.  The beats and tempos may differ, but the message is often the same.  Successful entertainers have recognized the power and value of collaboration.  It increases your exposure and multiplies your opportunities.

Do a self-assessment to evaluate your tastes in certain categories.  What is your taste in clothes, friends, significant others, books, and other interests?  Are your answers due to a comparison with alternative tastes or do you simply like what is familiar to you?  Consider that as you grow intellectually, professionally, and in life experience, your tastes may also change.  Again, there is no wrong or right answer.
