Personal development - How to stand out from the crowd

I was looking around for a good quote about standing out in a crowd and i came accross this great article that lists a few essential habbits that you can form to help you diferentiate yourself from the mass. Reading thorugh it, i couldn't avoid analizing my own traits and evaluating whether i need to improve on any of them, or even pick up a new good habbit.

Charles Marcus' article outlines the following traits:
1.Make it a habit to follow-up with people promptly.
2.Take the time to respond to people who leave you messages.
3.When you are speaking to people, give them 100% of your attention (this is a good one!)
4.Send a hand written note or card to someone who has given you an order, or been helpful to you.
5.Acknowledge people - even if they didn't give an order or purchased your product
6.Get involved [wholehartedly] in that association or group in your personal or professional life.
7.Invest one hour a day, at least, in your own individual personal and professional development.
8.Stretch your comfort zone; do one new thing every day - even if you think you can't.
