Are you crazy enough?
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. 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. But 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.

Especially here in Europe its so much needed:
This emotional, crazy and passionate communication. Tony Robbins Talk at TED breathed the same tenor.
Tkx.
Are you kidding??? I'm already trying to change the world!
BRAVO!! Hallelujeh-the advertising world is getting it! WOW-I want to create a bumper sticker that says, “Did you just say I can't do that? Well, the pink kink in my think says, you just watch me!” WOW!!
Thanks for sharing that!
–>“Did you just say I can't do that? Well, the pink kink in my think says, you just watch me!”
um.
best. bumper. sticker. ever.
hilarious.
pink kink in my think ,eh?
nice. :)
fantastic site and wonderful video i am no longer alone thanks
its so true. one person can make a difference. all it takes is knowing that you can change the world and wanting it bad enough. it will happen. someday. soon.
once you've seen it
you can't go back
it is encouraging to find others who are saying the same things
I have been able to see the changes that have come about in this lifetime, there is joy in the mind and heart when one can reflect on the difference's they have made within their life time.
I learned early to to love all humankind and to forgive any transgression immediately, comprehending that “We do have different lessons and paths”, so even a lite and suttle change has great impact on all of humanity.
Love and Light,

Every bit of inspiration helps me at the moment. I want my way forward to help everyone else along the way! Charity fundraising my way is apparently contaversial. Whatever…. I'm a problem solver.
jeez that was wonderful. thanks for that on a sunday night. what an inspiration for a great week. and what a cool idea this socnet is.
hahaha
oh apple…
Your inspiring ads
WOW!
What a beautiful welcome to Zaadz …
I'm home …. and I am!
*GRIN*
Wow. That brought tears to my eyes. I realize that was an Apple Computer commercial, but wow, it inspires and touches so many levels. Very profound. Thank you for sharing that.
I think that first we must change oursleves then change the world arround us
When is anyone ever completely “fixed”, ready, completely evolved, perfected, all the conditions are right, etc.? Life is constant change. Mega task! Do both simultaneously.
It is not your part to finish the task, yet
you are not free to desist from it.

See a need, fill it. Whether it is global, community wide, or whether it is each individual you encounter throughout your life, it makes a difference, and we all play an integral part. Don’t under value your influence and impact on the world.
I agree with you. Excuse my English, I ment I think that first we must change ourselves then eventually the world will changed. Myspace.com Ülle Põllu
Hi ylle! Sorry, I misunderstood. I stand corrected.
Love you!
Very inspiring! I think fear limited his willingness to share with the world but Edward Leedskalnin was similarly 'crazy', any of us should do as well.
Here's to all of us who are the crazy ones, the ones that people turn to stare at for no apparent reason. The ones who have the courage to stand up like the little boy in the long ago fairy tale, and shout, “But he has no clothes on!” One voice can change everyone's perspective.
I really like this. It is awesome. Somebody has to stand up, why not me? Why should I wait around for someone else to do what I already know is right?
The leap is made by dropping vanity over knowledge and a willingness to become nothing in order to becme everything!
Yes, and yes and yes
… but does it ever feel like a burden to you, make you tired and feel isolated.. ..and crazy? A double edge sword, this.
Here's to all the Edgar Allan Poes, van Goghs, t.s. eliots, Sylvia Plaths, Kierkegaards, and Simone Weils out there… dear crazy Simone…..
no doubt, no doubt the world is more beautiful, better understood, finer, and more evolved place because of misfits such as these…
but it came at great cost.
As my mentor/ father/ guide, Dante, would say:
Salute.
Thanks for the complement!
love the message and video, it make me want to do something nobody has done before.
Yeah. Sure. Ok. But wouldn't the whole thing have been just a little bit more inspiring if it hadn't been an advertisement? COME ON PEOPLE! You or I or someone else could do better than this! Sentimental crap? Inspiring? Hmm… Nice message, nice company…? Uh, really! I feel like I'm gonna burst!
wow………..
this new generation, need a hearo-a one of a kind individual who has enough hope for everbody-
this hearo can be you or me………
very inspiring and brAVE
I was an exchange student last year in the USA ( I'm Egyptian) seeking more cultural and promoting peace especially between the west adn the middle east….I suffered a lot..ppl called me a terrorist a lot…but changing the world was my mission….I was verrrrry happy when a guy in my english class told me by the end of the year ” Mariam, I always hated those ppl from the middle east..but u know what..knowing you and observing how u handle those wierd comments from ppl make me think that not all Arabs are bad .” !! I'm proud of myself and i know that the 100000000000000 mile road starts with 1 step !!
Need a few crazy ones to participate in the conscious capitalism experiement; change the system from inside our mind and thoughts and outside is bound to change effortlessly, get educated and enlightened about the blindspots of capitalism - money as debt, fractional reserve based banking, usury and their cumulative destructive effect on ecology, people's rights and planet.
Yahoo!!! Awesome future ahead.

most excellent Bri!
Brian,
This is an amazing video. love it.
you have to be crazy to live in this world so you have to be crazy to think you can chage it :)
That was inspiring! I thought that's me and the more I watched it the more I wanted to go out and be exactly the misfit I've always been! lol.
I will change the world one day. People call me crazy all the time. I know I just want to be an actress but I hope to be In a movie just as big as The “Passion of Christ'. I luv Mel Gibson… he inspires me…
changing the world start with changing your self how you think and how you look to other people around you..so as i see myself i know that I will change the world one day..soon.
good movie by the way..thank u
Yes i think i can change the word to be a better place to live with lest problem, hunger, and more jobs for the ones that realy need it. specialy single parent…
My own wise say is (i must cuote myself lol) :”A man can't do anithing great by not starting small”.
I think we all together can change the world, but we must start with little things and not rush like a bunch of no ones on the UN buildings or the white House…and one day changes will come…
Yeah i am crazy!
So what? ;)
change the world…. be different…. by buying a brand name computer. Interesting.
Crazy enough to change the world? I hope to make the world as one. If only all the countries would unite as one. Every country in the world would have as much as America has: More education, food, shelter, wealth, opportunities, and civilization. That is my goal.
Me? I'm nuts.
Certified.
Have the T-shirt and the ticket stub to prove it! LOL
Love your words. So much energy here!
I just feel glow from it.
Hell yeah crazy. Does not matter whether the promos are perceived as sentimental crap or not. The real work will always get through.
I think this is beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes even got me motivated to continue on what I am working on.
Change is an important part of life. The ones who fight against it are crazy, not those wanting to go with it and manipulate it for the betterment of all. Or maybe I'm just a little crazier than most…
You have to be smart enough to know that you can't change the world. What you CAN do, is change yourself. IF everyone improved themself just 1% that would change the world.
this is very very inspiring … i believe that we can change the world!!!!!
Great inspiration!
I kNow I am crazy enough that I am changing the world and it started from within me.

I have never been good at staying inside the box and as a result I have always honored the people who had the strength to follow their heart, hopes, dreams, and convictions even if it went against popular beliefs or traditions. I also believe that we can change the world by letting our light shine and leading the way. All this can be done one action at a time, one word at a time, and one attitude (starting with our own) at a time. In other words by taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions we cause a ripple effect that will be far reaching.
“Change your thoughts and you change your world”.

Don't shoot the messenger! However, it gets out there it is good. Think of all the people who don't even have a concept of a “quest” and consider this the seed that will nudge them forward.
In watching this, because I am in my 50's, I know now that I should have had more courage, because my views on the ways of the world have only intensified overtime.
But it seemed to me at the time that the price was isolation, poverty, and possibly death, so I did a little bit here and little bit there and I could have done alot more.
Now, I am blooming where I am planted and that takes courage, but it's easier because I don't have a job or a relationship on the line because of my beliefs.
So thanks, Brian, for the reminder, and I salute Apple for delivering a message regardless of their intention.
I make a difference every day.
