Are you crazy enough?

What does it require to make it big in life? I have pondered over this question for some time and have come up with two answers...

  1. You have to be blessed with something by birth. People with inborn talent invariably leave a mark on this world. Take the case of a Lata Mangeshkar; if you are not a crooner by birth, forget about stretching those vocal chords.
  2. If you are not lucky to be in the first category, don't worry. You can make it big by being crazy. Yes that's right; if people around you think that you are a weirdo, statistically chances are that you can make it big and people in future generations will remember and revere you.
You ask me why I say so... Take a case of the Wright brothers. When they were hallucinating about making man fly I am sure the "normal" people around them would have laughed at the whole idea. Or for that matter Gandhi, fighting without physically hurting anyone sounds like a crazy enough idea.

All these people share some other common traits
  • Great belief in their own abilities
  • They are all nonconformist
  • They see beyond a normal man's reach
  • They like challenges
So if you meet someone weird, don't forget to take a snap, you might have just met the next Person of the Century ;)
