to the crazy ones...

i've found something that drives me...

it stares at me everyday. and i stare back every other day.

dear couch, this poem defines who i am...a bit.

it's an ‘apple’ ad.

TO THE CRAZY ONES!

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 canvass 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?
(Or stare at a screen and see a blog?)

We make tools for this kinds of people.
Because while some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

And it’s the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, who actually do

THINK DIFFERENT!
