Here's To The Crazy Ones.The misfits.The rebels.

The trouble-makers.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 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 has never been written?

Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?We make tools for these 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.
