THE MISCONCEPTION OF BEING UNREASONABLE

You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone doing less.

THE REASONABLE MAN ADAPTS HIMSELF TO THE WORLD: THE UNREASONABLE ONE PERSISTS ON TRYING TO ADAPT THE WORLD TO HIMSELF.

THEREFORE, ALL PROGRESS DEPENDS ON THE UNREASONABLE MAN. ⠀

All of my success and wins have come from what others would define as unreasonable thinking. ⠀

My certainty of what I was doing or thinking will⠀
work, against others disbelief or doubt would label me unreasonable to these other people. ⠀

Some would even label my way of thinking as crazy. Event still today.

That won’t work. That doesn’t make sense. How do you plan to do that Clinton?

Are some of the frequent lines I’ve heard my whole life. These people would view my way of thinking as unreasonable to what they feel is reasonable.

The ironic thing is, the one most labeled unreasonable, is actually the voice of reason. ⠀

For example:

#waltdisney

#stevejobs

#kanyewest

All think in a way that is hard for an average “reasonable” person to understand because it’s bigger than they have the ability to see. ⠀

What’s more unreasonable, the person who settles for normal, rules, limitations, what’s already been done or…

The one that sees what can be, how it can be, how to elevate, create, open up possibilities? ⠀

It seems to me that the greatest minds and legends have been built off of being what reasonable people would classify as unreasonable. ⠀

The greatest ideas, inventions, innovation from flying to electricity to fashion to technology, and even a talking mouse all came from “unreasonable” minds. ⠀

Remember, ⠀

WHEN YOU ARE THE VOICE OF REASON IN A ROOM FULL OF UNREASONABLE PEOPLE, YOU SUDDENLY BECOME THE MOST UNREASONABLE PERSON IN THE ROOM. ⠀

CHANGE THE WORLD⠀

BE A LEADER.⠀

BE GREAT. ⠀

BE UNREASONABLE.
