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 quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing that 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 that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic," speech at the Sorbonne, Paris (April 23, 1910)

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

A short passage I found somewhere sometime back. Don't know where it's quoted from but it must have been meaningful for me to have copied and pasted it into Notepad. Here it is:

'Starting a company is not like finding a new job. With a new job, you want something that is interesting, pays well, enables you to reach your personal goals, etc, etc. It's a stopping point along a journey.

Starting a company is very different. Your passion for the business should come from your heart. It's not something that "matches your abilities," but something that compels you to put everything on the line. So when something moves you to this extent, you've found it. You don't necessarily go looking for it like you would read the "Jobs Wanted" section of the classified ads.'

This is the text of the Commencement address to the graduating students of Stanford University by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

Steve put in words exactly what I've always believed in. I have this text printed out and thumbtacked to my board to remind me that we should never stop learning, never stop craving for knowledge. Also, coming from a man I admire perhaps a tad too much, his speech certainly reveals a bit more about how he thinks and acts, which I find truly inspiring. To no end.

Here's his speech:

I dig this sort of stuff.

God's Debris is a book I stumbled upon on the web just recently. I downloaded and started reading and finished all 132 pages within a few hours.

This book is about Religion, Science, Beliefs, Reality, God, Einstein and much more.

Strangely enough, God's Debris was written by Scott Adams, the guy who does the Dilbert cartoons.

Click on to read an excerpt from the introduction Scott gives to see if it's your cup of tea. Oh, and the book is free so you can either head on to Scott's website to read more and download the book or you can download it right off my site by clicking here. (Right click then Save as, please)
