  • Here’s to the Crazy One

    Steve Jobs 1955-2011

     

    The misfit. The rebel. The troublemaker. The round peg in the square hole.

    The one who saw things differently. He wasn’t fond of rules. And he had no respect for the status quo. You can quote him, disagree with him, glorify or vilify him.

    About the only thing you can’t do is ignore him. Because he changed things. He invented. He imagined. He healed. He explored. He created. He inspired. He pushed the human race forward.

    Maybe he had to be crazy.

    How else can you stare at a circuit board and see a work of art? Or say no to a thousand great ideas so you can say yes to the one? Or gaze at a box full of parts and imagine a bicycle for the mind?
