Here’s to the crazy ones

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square hole. 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.
About 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.

Apple Computer advertisement, 1997

    Having just seen “The Crazies,” with my kid today, I’m happy to be back in the comfortable crazy of my MacBook.

    Apple and Nike definitely know how to craft words to inspire.
