Are you a misfit? This one's for you...
1/24/2006 1:30:29 PM
This verse was written by Josef Imrich and used by Apple Computers in their advertising. Read it, not just with your eyes, but with your heart. There is a point... 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 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 canvas 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? 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 who do. When we think of "geniuses" and people that affect the masses, we think of "big" names. The Einsteins and the Pavlovs. But, that's not how it starts. It starts with ordinary people like you and me. With me asking why Internet Marketers have to make success online such a darn mess and writing the sane steps to marketing online. With Cheri asking why so many people are in such lousy financial shape and helping them "start over" financially. With Winston wondering why it's so hard to find a publication about his hobby. With Gary determined to battle the number of people that are victimized on the streets by creating his self defense home study course. It starts with people looking to solve a problem, provide something they couldn't find, share a passion or attempt to help sort out mass confusion in their chosen area. It doesn't start with finding a guru to lead you to the fruits of success. It starts with giving a d*mn about something that means something to you. So... what does? What means something to you? Do you even know? And is that what you're pursuing? Or, are you doing something that you know nothing about, don't really care about with any large degree of passion... and then wondering why you're failing at it? : ) Linda

Hi Dave; ==================================== From one misfit to another.... ==================================== lol. That's funny. My entire life, I've had people saying things like "can't you just fit in?" and "can't you just accept what IS?" My ex's favorite was "Can you just STOP stirring things up for a while?" No. No, I can't. Stirring things up and making people see and think and feel are part of who I am. It's in my blood. I've been the rebel and 'misfit' for as long as I can remember. Bless Peter's heart for loving me for who I am, and my daughter for saying I'm her role model. ==================================== Thank you for this really great poem and post! It's so much fun and a joy to know you because you really do think outside the box. ==================================== Thank you Dave! (and you're welcome, too, for the verse) ==================================== I think I hear inspiration calling.... ==================================== lol. Well good. I do like to hear those words : ) Linda

Haha! Love the verse Linda. I too have always been the "rebel", the black sheep, if you will. My own mom does not understand me. Thank goodness, as you have experienced. My Randy supports me completely. (Even though he is one of the ones I am constantly encouraging to "think")! LOL He's a pessimistic. I'm an optimistic! What a pair to put together....God works in mysterious ways. And my kids adore me and look up to me. My daughter says she is going to be just like me. My son....Well, he's another story, but he thinks I'm all that anyway! What more could a person want? Great Post as usual, Your friend, Angela
