Square Peg

Square peg


"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 are not fond of rules and no respect for the status quo.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the one 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."




I'm doing my best to find my place in this world and although it's difficult to be a square peg in a round hole, part of growing up and persevering is to find a way to make it work.  It's making something grand and novel with what little material you have to begin with.  It's art.  Art is what happened when you try something new and possibly fail, but it's from failure that you find the chance to change and succeed again and again against obstacles that may at one time be giant mountains, but given a second chance are ant hills.  
I want to breath a deep breath of relief and not of disarray, but then again would that make life more interesting or simply plain as a bagel?  It's the flavor of failure that makes us wince but it's bitter medicine that the physician with in your self uses to heal itself.  One day all things will have been attempted achieved and absolute failures, however it's not that day that I'm looking forward to, but instead the journey of a thousand miles; and this may just be my first step.

  1. I told you once that you're a very wise man. I stand by that assessment.
