Why You Should Embrace Your Uniqueness, According to Biology | Marco So | TEDxCityUHongKong

Natural selection does not only occur in the wild, but also in human society. If one wants to evolve, one need to be different. Being unique and not go with the flow allows one to truly accomplish something substantial.

Marco is a fresh graduate of CityU majoring in Biology. In early 2016, while he was a final year student, he founded Hands Life Science, a biotech start-up with a vision to improve the quality and affordability of omega-3 fatty acids. Earlier on in 2014, he and his team represented CityU in the “International Genetically Engineered Machine” competition held in Boston and won a gold medal. Based on the winning project, he has since dedicated his goal to improve human health through biotechnology. Up to now, his team has secured more than HK$1 million funding from different investors to commercialize the technology.

Instead of being "different" or "unique" (both are so overemphasized) how about fitting in, that's a much better alternative
