Here’s to the crazy ones.

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, glorify

or vilify them.

About the only thing

you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine.

They explore.

They create. They inspire.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at

an empty canvas and see

a work of art?

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 that do.
