Crazy Ones

that gave me goosebumps, and even made the little hairs on my forearm rise up ( to the challenge) ! thank you for inspiring!

feeling the “crazy” … and lovin' it!

Very inspiring video!

crazy holy energy running deep. thanks so much.

I want you iphone!!!!

you know its crazy crazy crazy.. don’t tell me that you don’t care….

that was soo inspiring. thx

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Especially here in Europe its so much needed:

This emotional, crazy and passionate communication. Tony Robbins Talk at TED breathed the same tenor.

Tkx.

Are you kidding??? I'm already trying to change the world!

BRAVO!!  Hallelujeh-the advertising world is getting it!  WOW-I want to create a bumper sticker that says, “Did you just say I can't do that? Well, the pink kink in my think says, you just watch me!”  WOW!!

Thanks for sharing that!

fantastic site and wonderful video i am no longer alone thanks

its so true. one person can make a difference. all it takes is knowing that you can change the world and wanting it bad enough. it will happen. someday. soon.

once you've seen it
you can't go back
it is encouraging to find others who are saying the same things

I have been able to see the changes that have come about in this lifetime, there is joy in the mind and heart when one can reflect on the difference's they have made within their life time.   

I learned early to to love all humankind and to forgive any transgression immediately, comprehending that “We do have different lessons and paths”, so even a lite and suttle change has great impact on all of humanity.

Love and Light,
jc

Every bit of inspiration helps me at the moment. I want my way forward to help everyone else along the way! Charity fundraising my way is apparently contaversial. Whatever…. I'm a problem solver.

jeez that was wonderful. thanks for that on a sunday night. what an inspiration for a great week. and what a cool idea this socnet is.

hahaha

oh apple…

Your inspiring ads

WOW! 
What a beautiful welcome to Zaadz  …
I'm home …. and I am!
*GRIN*

Wow. That brought tears to my eyes. I realize that was an Apple Computer commercial, but wow, it inspires and touches so many levels. Very profound. Thank you for sharing that.

I think that first we must change oursleves then change the world arround us

When is anyone ever completely “fixed”, ready, completely evolved, perfected, all the conditions are right, etc.? Life is constant change. Mega task! Do both simultaneously.

It is not your part to finish the task, yet
you are not free to desist from it.
Pirke Avoth 2:16
—RABBI TARFON, C. 130 C.E.

See a need, fill it. Whether it is global, community wide, or whether it is each individual you encounter throughout your life, it makes a difference, and we all play an integral part. Don’t under value your influence and impact on the world.

I agree with you. Excuse my English, I ment I think that first we must change ourselves then eventually the world will changed. Myspace.com Ülle Põllu

Hi ylle! Sorry, I misunderstood. I stand corrected.

Love you!

Very inspiring! I think fear limited his willingness to share with the world but Edward Leedskalnin was similarly 'crazy', any of us should do as well.

Here's to all of us who are the crazy ones, the ones that people turn to stare at for no apparent reason. The ones who have the courage to stand up like the little boy in the long ago fairy tale, and shout, “But he has no clothes on!” One voice can change everyone's perspective.

I really like this. It is awesome. Somebody has to stand up, why not me? Why should I wait around for someone else to do what I already know is right?

The leap is made by dropping vanity over knowledge and a willingness to become nothing in order to becme everything!

Yes, and yes and yes

… but does it ever feel like a burden to you, make you tired and feel isolated.. ..and crazy?  A double edge sword, this.

Here's to all the Edgar Allan Poes, van Goghs, t.s. eliots, Sylvia Plaths, Kierkegaards, and Simone Weils out there… dear crazy Simone…..

no doubt, no doubt the world is more beautiful, better understood, finer, and more evolved place because of misfits such as these…

but it came at great cost.

As my mentor/ father/ guide, Dante, would say:

Salute.

Thanks for the complement!

love the message and video, it make me want to do something nobody has done before.

Yeah. Sure. Ok. But wouldn't the whole thing have been just a little bit more inspiring if it hadn't been an advertisement? COME ON PEOPLE! You or I or someone else could do better than this! Sentimental crap? Inspiring? Hmm… Nice message, nice company…? Uh, really! I feel like I'm gonna burst!

wow………..
this new  generation, need a hearo-a one of a kind individual who has enough hope for everbody-
this hearo can be you or me………
very inspiring and brAVE

I was an exchange student last year in the USA ( I'm Egyptian) seeking more cultural and promoting peace especially between the west adn the middle east….I suffered a lot..ppl called me a terrorist a lot…but changing the world was my mission….I was verrrrry happy when a guy in my english class told me by the end of the year ” Mariam, I always hated those ppl from the middle east..but u know what..knowing you and observing how u handle those wierd comments from ppl make me think that not all Arabs are bad .” !! I'm proud of myself and i know that the 100000000000000 mile road starts with 1 step !!

Need a few crazy ones to participate in the conscious capitalism experiement; change the system from inside our mind and thoughts and outside is bound to change effortlessly, get educated and enlightened about the blindspots of capitalism - money as debt, fractional reserve based banking, usury and their cumulative destructive effect on ecology, people's rights and planet.

Yahoo!!! Awesome future ahead.

most excellent Bri!

Brian,

This is an amazing video. love it.

you have to be crazy to live in this world so you have to be crazy to think you can chage it :)

That was inspiring! I thought that's me and the more I watched it the more I wanted to go out and be exactly the misfit I've always been! lol.

I will change the world one day. People call me crazy all the time. I know I just want to be an actress but I hope to be In a movie just as big as The “Passion of Christ'. I luv Mel Gibson… he inspires me…

changing the world start with changing your self how you think and how you look to other people around you..so as i see myself i know that I will change the world one day..soon.
good movie by the way..thank u

Yes i think i can change the word to be a better place to live with lest problem, hunger, and  more jobs for the ones that realy need it. specialy single parent…

My own wise say is (i must cuote myself lol) :”A man can't do anithing great by not starting small”.

I think we all together can change the world, but we must start with little things and not rush like a bunch of no ones on the UN buildings or the white House…and one day changes will come…
Yeah i am crazy!
So what? ;)

change the world…. be different…. by buying a brand name computer. Interesting.

Crazy enough to change the world? I hope to make the world as one. If only all the countries would unite as one. Every country in the world would have as much as America has: More education, food, shelter, wealth, opportunities, and civilization. That is my goal.

Me? I'm nuts.
Certified.
Have the T-shirt and the ticket stub to prove it! LOL

Love your words. So much energy here!
I just feel glow from it.

Hell yeah crazy.       Does not matter whether the promos are perceived as sentimental crap or not. The real work will always get through.

I think this is beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes even got me motivated to continue on what I am working on.

Change is an important part of life. The ones who fight against it are crazy, not those wanting to go with it and manipulate it for the betterment of all. Or maybe I'm just a little crazier than most…

You have to be smart enough to know that you can't change the world. What you CAN do, is change yourself. IF everyone improved themself just 1% that would change the world.

this is very very inspiring … i believe that we can change the world!!!!!

Great inspiration!
I kNow I am crazy enough that I am changing the world and it started from within me.

I have never been good at staying inside the box and as a result I have always honored the people who had the strength to follow their heart, hopes, dreams, and convictions even if it went against popular beliefs or traditions. I also believe that we can change the world by letting our light shine and leading the way.  All this can be done one action at a time, one word at a time, and one attitude (starting with our own) at a time. In other words by taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions we cause a ripple effect that will be far reaching.

Don't shoot the messenger!  However, it gets out there it is good.  Think of all the people who don't even have a concept of a “quest” and consider this the seed that will nudge them forward.

In watching this, because I am in my 50's, I know now that I should have had more courage, because my views on the ways of the world have only intensified overtime.

But it seemed to me at the time that the price was isolation, poverty, and possibly death, so I did a little bit here and little bit there and I could have done alot more.

Now, I am blooming where I am planted and that takes courage, but it's easier because I don't have a job or a relationship on the line because of my beliefs.

So thanks, Brian, for the reminder, and I salute Apple for delivering a message regardless of their intention.

I make a difference every day.

IT'S NOT CRAZY TO THINK WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.  WE ARE CRAZY IF WE BELIEVE WE CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD.  IT TAKES ONE PERSON TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND ALL OF US TO MAKE A CHANGE.  EACH ONE OF US CAN BEGIN THE PROCESS OF CHANGE EACH AND EVERYDAY.  WE HAVE TO ALL BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE.  IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT  INJUSTICE, HOMOPHOBIA, SEXISM, RACISM, CLASSISM, AGEISM, AND CAPITALISM.  WE MUST BE PROACTIVE AND STOP PARTICIPATING IN THE MADNESS WE WRONGLY CALL CIVILIZATION.  IF EACH ONE OF US WHO BELIEVES IT IS WRONG STOPS PARTICIPATING WE ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.  WE BECOME A POLITICAL, SPIRITUAL TSUNAMI THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED. OCHI

I couldn't agree more. I refuse to treat others with disrespect just becuase it's so common these days. People think that I am old-fashioned in my views, but that's only because respect and honor are no longer appreciated by society. Too much is made of the little insiginigicant details that make us different, but little to no focus is given to those things that we all hold in common which are; Love, Family and Beliefs, we all have to eat, we all bleed, we all feel. More thought should be given to another's thoughts and feelings rather than our own selfish desires.

you must believe you rhands can move. you must believe everyday that your feet matter in what direction are going.

 what we live with , is what we chase after, this is what we dream with to live faster.

This was an amazing, powerful clip.  I do believe there is a quote that said “What genious ever acted normal?”  Don't fear what others are going to think of you, they aren't supposed to be living YOUR life.  You will faces challenges in your life; challenges you will not be able to avoid.

The goal is that a small influence can make a great impact.  This was a small clip, but it made a great discovery in us all.  So if a clip can do that, so can we.

I say yes to change the world, let there be only one president in the world. God that created this world is one so, I presuppose there is one one leader that will manage the affairs  of this world.  A lot of countries are suffering due to poor leaders, therefore a good one selection of a leader will be better in order to limit poverty and underdevelopment and selfish leaders  in most countries.

This reminds me that crazy, unrealistic goals are often the easiest to achieve.  There are less people competing with you to accomplish them. 

I know that we can change the world and I am doing my part.  My goal is probably crazy to some, but I am on a personal mission and do wish to inspire others to make changes also.  

I have taken a personal inventory of everything I own, and of myself.  I am addressing my faults and those things that I am not honest about. 

I have decided from this moment on… well I started  September 1st actually… I am going to use and care for what I have now, and only purchase what I must to survive.  At the same time I hope to grow more vegetables and buy local organic food and supplies that I must have (not what I want to have , but what I need to have).  I am recording my experiences with the intention of writing a book about what happens in my life.  I am already noticing improvements in my physical and mental health, relationships, and finances.  My life has already become much simpler and easier to manage.  All I have to do is ask myself each and every day whether I have been fully accountable to myself, and able to sleep with a clear conscience.  We should only worry about what we can control and my worries are generally those things which also bring me shame.  Overspending.  Overeating.  Driving my car to work when I should walk.  Instead of thinking about family and friends that I seem to never have time to see take time to plan and see them.  Be accountable ito myself in every aspect every day, honest with everyone, and become a truly happy person! 

My goal is to write my experiences as a living will and gratitude diary to my children, family and friends, and as a book that I hope will encourage others to examine their lives and make changes that will help them find inner happiness - whatever that looks like - and change the world in a positive way.. 

I also think of this as an experiment, with an unknown end result.   If I could encourage my workplace, the BC government, or someone with positive influence (the media? A documentary film-maker? the local paper? Oprah? the BC government newsletter?) to follow me while  I make this journey and show others what it can do, on such a small scale, then think of the potential if more people did the same and it started to domino….I could start a challenge in my workplace, or with my friends, or find people like me to keep moving it forward. 

I do believe it is possible to change the world and I'm already trying.

I'd love some comments and feedback…….is this a crazy idea or what do others think?  Even if it sounds crazy, I have already started.  It may be a crazy unrealistic goal, and I don't know of anyone else competing with me, but I would be happy to have competition.  Think of the possibilities!!!

Very nice video!!! … Question Why wasn't Malcom X, Che, the Black Panthers, etc. in the video? tHat was a very nice video but i feel its missing most of the “crazy” people.
And i feel they shouldn't be reffered as the “Crazy” ppl, they should be reffered as the Right ones.

Yes i am crazy enough to change the world, but if people dont act serious, they might not chose to change.

It's all about comprehending the world around you, looking at that world in a different perspective, and thinking “how can I make this better?”

Well, I am trying my best to do my share.  ….tyring to ease some of the divisiveness and judgmental behavior we see in the world with respect to religion.  See my blog: BeliefStagesandGrowth.com for details. 

A nice video depicting very notable people. However, the majority of real changers today and tomorrow won't necessarily be the rich, famous, or noteworthy. They will be individuals who have tapped into an evolving collective consciousness. Realization that as individuals we are part of a whole greater than the sum of its parts. We all contribute to the spiritual balance and sanity of this collective mind. Its an inside job! If we wish to see the world change in positive ways and reach higher states of consciousness and awareness. We must start making changes in our individual consciousness. We all have the power to change = change the world.

thats a great video.. made me feel all tingly just watching it! great inspiration!!!

People have the power to influence a whole nation.  Those that possess a inner drive to dream and strive for those dreams are the people that make a difference.  Making a difference in you is making a difference in all those around you.  Positive motivation spreads like a deadly virus.   I am the future.  I am the voice of potential.  I am hope.  I am a trendsetter.  I am committment.  For I am the difference.

that's what I always say! Now, i don't feel so bad when ppl call me crazy!

That was the shortest inspirational film I've ever seen. It definitely caused me to think about how you can't change the world if you act like everyone else. “Imitation is suicide.” Emerson

Crazy has nothing to do with it. Everyone else is the crazy people, I'm simply realistic. I know I can change the world.

I love it.

Never underestimate yourself.

All it takes is one man with one step to start something.  Look what a little rock can do, it drops from the top and hits another, and moves a rock, it hits another and the next thing you know you have an avalanche.  Same with snow. A small bit slides and hits some lose snow, which inturn hits more lose snow and the next thing is you have an avalanche. Be that avalanche.  One man, one step

I will buy a Mac now D=

All kidding aside, it's a very strong message. I am disappointed that such a message must be accompanied by advertising, but at least it is being put out there to help reinforce every crazy notion I've ever bothered to think up.

Woohoo!! Lets begin,without our input apple can't change the world.

i try to change something about the world the the world dont wanna hear me out. its gonna take sometime but i will succeed..

i love the way you explain how the craxy one can change the world!

And I thought when people called me crazy it was a bad thing!
It's time we took our craziness out of therapy and put it to good use!

Personally I'm going to start a movement through story and film; putting my words into the mouths of loveable, unforeseen characters. Thus sending subliminal messages to the world!
My message is all about changing yourself to change the world. If everybody became a better person the world would therefore be a better place.
But somewhere along the line there is doubt. We ask ourselves, “If we were to remove hate, would love become invalid?”
It's all about conquering the fear of failure and impossiblity and just doing something. Something big.

I have always been labeled 'crazy', 'different', 'outlandish', 'strange', and just about anything and everything else that someone can say about someone who doesn't fit the mold…………….I say, When they made me, they made me with all of the left over parts, and therefore, I can never be anyone but who and what I am………Take it or leave it, I am that I am, which I choose to be, today, and everyday………For every moment, is yet another opportunity to do it differently!

I may have to quote you on that =P

Thank YOU!!!!!! :P

There should equality in provision of human needs.

Yah.
