Here&#039;s to the crazy ones.<br /> <br /> The misfits.<br /> <br /> The rebels.<br /> <br /> <br /> The troublemakers.<br /> <br /> <br /> The round pegs in the square holes.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The ones who see things differently.<br /> <br /> They&#039;re not fond of rules.<br /> <br /> <br /> And they have no respect for the status quo.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,<br /> <br /> <br /> disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.<br /> <br /> About the only thing you can&#039;t do is ignore them.<br /> <br /> <br /> Because they change things.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> They invent. They imagine. They heal.<br /> <br /> They explore. They create. They inspire.<br /> <br /> They push the human race forward.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Maybe they have to be crazy.<br /> <br /> How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?<br /> Or sit in silence and hear a song that&#039;s never been written?<br /> Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?<br /> <br /> We make tools for these kinds of people.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> While some see them as the crazy ones,<br /> we see genius.<br /> <br /> Because the people who are crazy enough to think<br /> they can change the world, are the ones who do.
