I am the Difference.

This is the first official blog entry of my life. And I would like to start it off by being the difference.How does one define difference? Mathematically, it is the number or the result that remains after the subtrahend is subtracted from the minuend. There are various definitions of this word richly found from a handy dictionary or the online dictionary. However, I choose  this  definition, a certain degree of distinction, which sets me apart from others. Being the difference that makes a difference is a challenge. I am taking a big leap of making a difference. I am the difference.
