All progress depends on unreasonable people: "think different"

A brilliant little snippet. The perfect argument for those who choose to lead life a bit mad, radical, and probably leading one to be disliked, criticized and socially ostracized. I'm reminded of the following quip by playwright George Bernard Shaw:

"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."

Remember, when faced with the choice between being reasonable or unreasonable, take the risk of being unreasonable even if it's the harder path. You can be reasonable your entire life but the returns of being unreasonable are priceless to you and to others who will eventually look up to you. As Robert Greene notes in his book, co-authored with rapper 50 Cent, The 50th Law, there is nothing that disturbs, unsettles, or arouses jealousy and extreme dislike in people more than an individual who fearlessly does whatever he or she wants and go wherever their whims take them. There is something to be said for being unreasonable. All progress depends on the unreasonable person.
