Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead. O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba You don’t have to be the Dalai Lama to tell people that life’s about change. John Cleese 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. Steve Jobs
