Abstract: ‘What a man can be, he can be!’ could be the best and shortest way to understand that once a person gets to be different, it will stand out! And it is an undisputed fact that we are all different from one another due to our unique mixes of traits, endeavors and emotional propensities. We have come to commoditize absolutely everything. And most of all, ourselves. Evolution has reached the level when extreme segmentation and differentiation becomes mass the second day. We live days when we all want to feel as if we are special, yet discover every day that we might just as well be ‘one of the many’. The result? We are all the same because of the things we want to be different through. ‘’I am not like the others’’ is the first thing that any herd-minded person would say. The present research was built on the premise that freewill seemed to have become optional to many of us. The concern addressed along the paper, the pleading it relies on and the final empirical evidence started from the humanity within us, the concept of potentiality and what makes a high potential individual. As assumed beforehand and proven through theories worldwide presented along the research, this shadowed corner is what allows freewill to lose its compulsoriness and makes it look as if dispensable. As nature tends to penalize those who try to escape it, and it does so through extinction, alienation, unexpected self-defending mechanisms or deviations, I considered important to look deep into the reasons why people end up leaving themselves afloat, disregarding their strengths, lean into comforting mediocrity (if not misery) or exonerating themselves from the consequences of their actions. My paper addresses my own research on the professional environment in Romania and experiemental conclusions within a frame of international researches and theories on the subject, leaving it all open to circulation and debate.
