Whatever it is, be good at it.
I overheard a radio talk head yesterday discussing “deflate-gate”. If you’re not sure what it is you can Google it for all the fun details.
Anyway, the host was talking about it and he made the following observation:
“Excellence is good. But conformity is better.” Oh really?
What if Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had conformed instead of leading a rebellion? Or how about Steve Jobs? Where would the computing world be if he had stayed inside the box? Mahatma Gandhi ring a bell? Remember Amelia Earhart?
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the square pegs in the round holes. . . They’re not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status-quo.”
In Steve’s own words:

Excellent. Thanks for sharing the video. Gonna use it. 🙂
Thanks jeff. I was doing some research for a business training seminar our local town was doing for free and I came across the video while listening to the radio. A lot of information hitting all at one time. I took a moment and dialed the number for the station but it was busy.
Excellent post. Rise Above The Grade
And being from New England… If there was cheating to win, is it truly a win? In your heart of hearts.
It will be interesting to watch this tale unfold. Someone had a job to do and it didn’t get done.
