Finding the inspiration to do great things.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble makers. 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. But the only thing you can't do, is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may 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." 

I found this old Apple commercial and it got me thinking about where we find inspiration. And the answer is everywhere. Even in this economic crisis, there is so much to be excited about...so many things that continue to drive our curiosity and connection with each other and the world. From the Internet to social media to mobile to the brands who tap into it all, I cannot help but feel inspired by where technology is taking us. Sure, there a few things to keep in mind right now - the economy, the environment, healthcare, poverty. But aren't these the very things that we should get inspired to effect and improve? 

So many of you already focus on good things. You celebrate the accomplishments of others. You point to good deeds and even good work. To those of you who do, thank you. I for one appreciate it. And find it inspirational.
