Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Non preoccupatevi se avete costruito castelli in aria. E' quello il luogo dove devono essere. Ora dovete costruire sotto a quei castelli le fondamenta.

Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862

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 quote them, disagree with 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 think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Come altro si può guardare una tela vuota e vedere un'opera d'arte? O sedere in silenzio e ascoltare una canzone che non è mai stata scritta? O fissare un pianeta rosso e vedere un laboratorio su ruote? (...) Mentre alcuni li vedono come dei pazzi, noi vediamo come dei geni. Perché le persone che sono abbastanza folli da pensare di poter cambiare il mondo, sono quelle che lo fanno.

Steve Jobs 1955-2011
