Crazy

We need the crazy people not the compliant.

We don’t need more certainty, we don’t need more well-trained cogs for the machine.

Safety never changes a thing.

Perfection is dull and unachievable.

Compliance leads to enslavement.

Rules are for quelling curiosity about what the rule makers are wanting us not to find out.

Crazy people do crazy things that bring about invention.

Without inventors, we are all doomed.

Let out your craziness and do something that makes people nervous. After all, we were all meant to die on steam trains that went over 20 mph.

Square pegs don’t fit in round holes

Often we compromise our values by shaving pieces off our square peg to fit a round hole.

Don’t.

Always stick to your values and be strong enough to face the haters, the doubters and the people who try to control or manipulate you to do otherwise.

It’s a lonely place sometimes being different and standing up for what you believe, it’s much easier to stay safe in the centre of the circle than it is to be out on the edges where risk and judgement from others are.

But true bravery is being able to not worry what others think and keep that square peg square.
