Leapt without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again
There is a certain bravado and fearlessness required when choosing to take a path less travelled. There are many more uncertainties involved than taking a cautious path to success
When a person chooses to be a professional actor, musician, screenwriter, director, disk jockey or even start a business. These are very difficult choices with sometimes very little guarantees for success. But they do it any way.
A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"
So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays
But you try to imagine a world without these risk takers? Imagine how drab the world would be. The world would be laced with unimaginative minds, we would have no businesses, no movies and plays, no music, no KFC or McDonald's, no Microsoft or Apple.
There will be no countries, no states, in short, there will be nothing except a collective hive mind of people dominated by fear and lack of imagination.
So if you're one of those embarked on this path, like me, take strength in the fact that we would make the tough choices, so others won't. We provide them with Jobs, music & entertainment off our countless sleepiness nights with empty stomachs.
And yeah we might Alienate a few on the way, our parents would worry about our well beings from time to time, people might question our capability from time to time.
So here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make
Keep dreaming folks
