Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads 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 quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them.........................................

Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may 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.

In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us......................................................

Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs...........................

Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them......................................

As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic, even lunatic.

"Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. ................................................

Success in many cases is failure turned inside out. The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. .........................................
