Off Topic: "Here's to the crazy ones ..."

This commercial marks Apple’s comeback from the ashes, Steve Jobs’s return to the helm. The “Think Different” campaign is already 10 years old, the post that reminded me of it is also somewhat old, but the message is still completely relevant. It even applies to us Railers — it would make a great ad from a company like 37signals. Enjoy.

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 that 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 hasn’t been written?
Or, gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the ones who are crazy enough
to think that they can change the world,

are the ones who do.
