Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and
see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?We make tools for these
kinds of people. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.

So are you prepared to take the first step in a life-long journey of self-discovery and personal development? If you are, we invite to join us in our next chapter meeting on 06th Oct 08. Same time, same venue. Just remember to contact any of our friendly EXCO members for RSVP and bring along $15 (guest fee/ pax) for another night of fun learning.

Cheers.

“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon… (interrupted by applause) we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too”

- John F. Kennedy

So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible rather than on the things that are possible.
So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done.
