Discovering your “Individual Culture”
Positive thinking and determination are no longer any guarantee of success. They are now merely entry fees to play the game of life.
For you, the individual human being, success now requires that you find a way to leverage what I call your “individual culture.”
For an individual person, the integration of their personality, unique individual traits & characteristics (idiosyncrasies), values, likes, dislikes, passions, talents, knowledge, etc, and anything else that makes them unique constitutes their “individual culture”.
Leveraging your individual culture:
I was watching videos of Jimi Hendrix on youtube the other day. You can’t help but marvel at how unique and advanced his skills were. He added a tremendous amount of innovation and value to the world by applying his unique talents to a set of competencies in the context of “guitar playing.”
One cannot deny that Jimi Hendrix had fully leveraged his individual culture when he picked up a guitar. By applying his individual culture to the competencies and skills within the context of guitar playing, he created a unique competitive advantage, and added an incredible amount of value to our culture and society. 
Understanding your individual culture is an important part of life in general.
The ramifications of not understanding your individual culture are many, but in general, not understanding who you are as a person means that you will not be able to develop a competitive advantage for anything in life, and this can dramatically limit your success and happiness, or at a minimum make it relatively more difficult to achieve your goals. In my book, Personal Competitive Advantage™, I explain a method you can apply to your own life that allows you to leverage your individual culture into a sustainable competitive advantage. –Darryl Dosti
