What makes you different from others?
Each of us has our own brand. If you can choose only one outstanding feature of yours to make everyone else remember you and define your brand, what will you pick out? Why?

@Rosie Vu: You're right. Our credibility eventually makes us different. However, my primary focus is to not try making myself different from others - it makes more sense to focus effort in building up our core values.

God made us all different. 3Bn men, 3Bn women all different. Now to achieve yourself, you need to look at the Maslow pyramid of human achievement
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
1 Self Actualization Needs
(full potential)
2 Esteem Needs
(self respect, personal worth, autonomy)
3 Love and Belongingness Needs
(love, friendship, comradeship)
4 Safety Needs
(security; protection from harm)
5 Physiological Needs
(food, sleep, stimulation, activity)
what do you need most now? Brand for that!
Of course, the ultimate is #1 full potential but you need to know what you really want to be, regardless of branding, because then only you will become that because everything you do is about that and you excel because you love what you do. You can wake up at 4 and sleep at midnight you will be doing something meaningful for you then for others. Tiger Woods, Obama there was no history of blackman in their position. they did it they became their own brand, a new brand.-

I agree on both points. On the rebel student/youth, I have much experience with that. Often times their core is so different than the rebel everyone sees them to be. Sometimes it is finding their true self that allows them to change but it is very hard. There are people who can change their appearance or behaviors for the better.
So you could find someone who dresses poorly and may have low confidence. They can find confidence, become more assertive and dress well to become a good salesperson but not lose their inner values.

Very insightful Rosie.
I was listening to the radio yesterday. They were interviewing Nick Lowe, a famous musician who had hit songs in the 1980's and wrote for others including Elvis Costello. He was explaining how there was a time where he had become famous and was on the downward slope of popularity. He was turning to different things but could not find the answer. What would win fans for him, what did he need to do and who did he have to be to win back his fans.
He explained that he was talking one day to Johnny Cash, another famous singer song writer who was much older than Mick Lowe and had gone through a similar situation. Johnny Cash told him simply: "be yourself". Nick Lowe said he was surprised by the simplicity of the statement. Since then he has continued to write and produce music, and is still successful even if he is not at the top of the charts or standing on stage before 50,000 fans.
Most of all he is respected for this work and his integrity. Isn't that what is most important?
If interested, his interview is at this site

I let Hien Dao respond with what she believes.
A couple of comments above I said something similar taken from an interview of a famous singer, Nick Lowe. His point was you should not try to be something you are not. He struggled to find what he had to do to play for large crowds again and be popular. The advice he received was be yourself - do what you do naturally and people will listen to your music.
So with our careers we should not do things that do not come naturally. For example, starting out in my career I was "myself" and my natural skill was analysis for which I was appreciated and became successful. If I tried to be something that was not natural, such as a public speaker, then I would likely have failed as it would be readily known that I was a poor public speaker, at least at that time in my career.
As our careers progress we will develop into our own unique set of skills reflecting our selves and our passions. These will allow us to be successful.
At least those are my thoughts. I look forward to Hien Dao's ideas and thoughts
