“Conformity is usually the last gasp of a failed commitment to creativity!” - Futurist Jim Carroll Rebel. Fight back against the idea that you need to be like everyone else - be your own self. Don't follow conventional wisdom - pursue your own wisdom. When everyone is running one way - turn around and bolt in the other direction. When everyone says "it's always been done this way," find a new and different way. When you are told it's a dumb idea - make it into a great idea. Refuse to accept the status quo - make your own quo. Deny the ability of others to create the future they think you should have - build your own future. Never, ever let anyone tell you that it won't work - make it work. When you are told you really should be doing something else - double down on your efforts. Rebel. Refuse to conform. Design your own car. Because you can. -- Inspired by my good friend Tom Morley
