My sort of people

4 June 2008 0 By Viv McWaters
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 have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify 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 a bit 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’s never been written?
Or gaze at a wilderness and see a future city?
While some 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.
