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 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’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?We make tools for these kinds of people.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.</span> <div id="myWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> <span ="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb68, 68, 68; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; "></span> <span ="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb68, 68, 68; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 20px; ">From the think different campaign - a great visionary lost.</span>

Unfortunately GRF the conservative majority will never, truly relate to the text above. And will never understand the true value of people prepared to act and think in new ways. They will pass comment secure in what they think is correct because they are confident that there vastly larger social group agrees. So don't expect any pat on the back, I'm pretty sure Mr Jobs didn't. I think he new that the path he trod was a hard one. But he kept going, relentlessly, and the reward was the purity of product design you can see in Apples products. Which has lead to a cultural step change in our world.

The only thing I'd add to the text above is: just make sure your right, otherwise the b**tards will rip you apart.
