The Crazy Ones

Had a very insightful day today, although my moo went bonkers and Mr boy was trying to surprise us with something very unsurprising and I decided to argue my way out of GP and in turn had to take notes on the board while Fsu sat in the chair. Revenge? lol

To the SV peeps, it's 15mins to our one month anniversary! The day we flew out of our little fishbowls and gained enlightenment haha! Commemorating this event, I decided to post this poem that's still stuck in my head. There was something I really really liked about it when I first came across it while prepping for one of the SV priming sessions. Written by steve jobs, founder of Apple Inc.

Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify them or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine.
They heal. They explore.
They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Think Different.
