Courtesy of my company, Adshel, and Medibank International, tennis tournament we sponsor, me and a couple of girls from work went for 'meet the players' party, kind of welcome event for players and sponsors.
The funny thing was, that we had no clue who were the players - apart from most known faces, would you recognise a tennis person on the street? I wouldn't. Plus they look very different in normal attire :)
Nevertheless, there were a couple of faces we knew - Serena Williams, Dinara Safina, Jelena Jankovic, Nalbadian, Novak Djokovic. And I couldn't help but get a picture with him :)

"Being truly different impact positively on your people, product and the bottom line, but it usually comes with a cost" - W. Leach. Isn't it so also for people, being truly different makes an impact, but it does come with a cost...
