No today's is not a motivational speech...
I would just like to point out that it advantageous to be different and think outside the box. In case you haven't noticed the average person is not doing that hot.
Doing the typical thing you work 9-5 or 5-9 for a capped salary building someones else's empire essentially trading your time for money, get laid off when times get tough, buy things that is advertized on mainstream media(ipad 1-2-3, iphone 1-2-3-4, lattes), become one of the 70% of people living paycheck to paycheck, buy the American dream home/cars that you will never be able to pay off and ultimately defer true happiness and freedom until you are living off medicare. Most importantly and in a higher level you are living a life void of freewill and of originality. Again don't compare yourself with other people, what they are/have has nothing to do with you.
What I am alluding to is a giant paradigm shift between the average person and revolutionary people who challenged the status quo and think for ourselves.
Henry Ford went outside the box to create the assembly line.
What if Edison just thought the gas lamp was about as good as it got?
What if the Wiki folks didn't work on that open-sourced encyclopedia (We would be using Encarta...YIKES!)?
