“If you see a strange thing, and do not regard it as strange, its strangeness will vanish.”

-Chinese Proverb

At work, new people, new things and new ways may strike you as “strange,” “different,” even “off the wall.” But just as you should not “judge a book by its cover,” don’t be afraid to look “inside” that new person, new thing, or new way of doing things. Once you do, you may just discover a new “best friend.” Don’t avoid “strange” things; instead, discover the value, advantage and even treasure they may hold.
