"Here's 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 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.” This quote is brilliantly executed in a commercial of an Apple product, in 1997. And “here’s to the crazy ones” because they change the world.

In the commercial while this was being said, the misfits were shown.  Albert Einstein, The Beatles, Gandhi were all shown. Those who have changed the world were there. And those who were not, resonated (some may say) throughout the quote. Such people are the genius that drives the idiocy, like we all are. Yes; my audience, myself and anybody who is alive is an idiot, which would happen until one of us changes the world. For only the “crazy ones” can change the world. And until then whoever is striving to achieve such a tremendous goal, is a “round [peg] in the square [hole]” Because without change, how would the human race be any different from an average everyday carrot?

The rebels who move this world allow rest to accept the change. Without the rebels what use would the word genius be? It would mean no cars, no quantum physics, and no IPhone. Not even extremely red and ripe apples. Such necessities are needed in most homes, (especially the extremely red and ripe apples). Without them the idiots cannot live. In which case the world would be a smaller place. And just like little children on the playground, we all want a bigger sandbox.

Allow the troublemakers to thrive, for they will change the future. In a future where idiocy is less idiotic, where Global Climate Change is not affected by gasoline emissions, where Starburst is much more juicier and yet is still a solid. Such a future is a wonderful future. And without the crazy one, it cannot be completed (if it even started). So let the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, and the troublemakers have opportunity. Let them have the opportunity to change the world. Let them change this world for the better, for the sake of all of the idiots out there.

  1. You make great points :D without rebels everyone would be ordinary and there would be nothing great happening :D it is those who stand out and go out and make a difference that make things happen

  2. I couldn't agree with you more. If everyone just accepted "the norm," we'd still be stuck in the stone age. It is the people who challenge the status quo who change the world because they realize that things are not right and attempt to fix them. Not only this, but if they are crazy, charismatic people, they will be able to easily recruit others who question their surroundings and make change in soceity.
