Crazy = Genius?

Jim Henson, the genius who made the world a better, funnies 

place with the beloved Muppets, Sesame Street & Fraggle

Rock... where would millions of children be if someone had

told him that puppets were for losers? BTW, his drawings are 

also the inspiration behind the Awake Minds logo.  

Every proclaimed genius today, was once labelled a misfit, an agitator, an instigator, a rebel, a threat to society, a ne'er do well...

How we forget about the crazy ones.... The people whom we owe everything because they've shaped the very world we live in today.

John Maynard Keynes revolutionised economics by going against the bandwagon of classical economists.

Einstein, told everyone that Newton wasn't all that right... and later admitted he may not be either...

Gandhi, who changed the world with love.

Jose Antonio Abreu, who said there's a better way forward.

Steve Jobs, who proved that everything functional should be coupled with artisty. 

And what better way to remember and pay tribute to these revolutionaries, these Crazies, than to remember and once again re-live this brilliant campaign, run by Apple and titled "Think Different" in the late 90's...

They, and many others in the world, have proved that what society once regarded as sheer Craziness was indeed utter Genius! 

"They push the human race forward."

Here's to the crazy ones. 

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. 

The round pegs in 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 and vilify them. 

But 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 crazy, we see genius. 

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world...are the ones who do."
