Creating Passionate Users: The Clueless Manifesto

Here's to the Clueless Ones

The ones who see things differently

They're not fond of rules (granted, that's because they don't actually know about the rules)

They have no respect for the status quo (see previous statement)

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.

Maybe they have to be clueless.

How else can you take on city hall at the age of 12?Or break the impossible record?Or build an internet startup without VC bucks?

While some see them as the clueless ones,we see a fresh perspective.

Because the people who are clueless enough to thinkthey can change the world, might be the ones who do.

Do not underestimate us.

Apple: Here's to the crazy ones

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 see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to thinkthey can change the world, are the ones who do.

why ?

A manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions. A statement which most frequently invites to action and change. Which is why i love manifestos. And, because i want to have more manifestos gathered somewhere, so that i don't have to go back and look and look and look and try to remeber where i had initially read one proposition or another - i thought i'd post some on a blog.
