Many would probably agree that as a child, Steve Jobs could have fallen into the category of a rebel, misfit, troublemaker. I can only imagine how much he tested some of his teachers throughout his academic journey.

 

      When I had a kid in class that was unique, 'way out there' or tough to deal with, I often wondered where their life would take them. If in fact they would end up doing amazing things in the world....if they had within them a vision, drive and way of thinking that led many adults and kids to perceive them in a negative light. I've read interviews with Lady GaGa, Tony Hawk (skateboarding icon), Mark Wahlberg (award winning actor) and others who struggled in school, felt misunderstood and were labeled as a freak, troublemaker, mistfit. 

 

    I wanted to share with you the text in an Apple commercial that never aired, with a voiceover from Steve Jobs. It's entitled 'Here's to the Crazy Ones'. (If you would like to view it as well, with many famous people included, click here http://bit.ly/dvYeMR) and remember "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
