[...] year. And entrepreneurs are wackos. They’re not normal; they break the rules; they’re shit out of their minds. You spend enough time around people like that and suddenly it becomes really obvious [...]

I guess I'm crazy too. I like to do different things. I never like the 9 to 5 setting because its too restricting and very monotonous. I enjoy creating my own life. I don't want someone to dictate my capabilities.

Now I did have a job (and a bunch of other normal stuff, but that's a different comment on a different blog post), and I quit the job 6 years ago and left the rest of the normal stuff recently.

I really don't know how to deal with normal people. I forget that there are people who just want to go to work & get paid. And that's not *wrong* … but it's important to understand that we are weird. (amazing & wonderful, but weird)

omg. I remember thinking when I was a kid – I just don't want to be an ordinary person when I grow up. Because this is so freaking boring.

I tried for years to be normal, but it didn't really suit me – and it was exhausting. So I gave it up!

While we’re on the topic of normal, let’s another thing real clear:

“Balanced” people don’t make history.

Balanced people don’t get stuff done.

Balance is another name for mediocrity. For indifference and shifting responsibility.

It takes truly unbalanced people to make things happen. The truly obsessed, possessed and borderline deranged are who shift paradigms, make billions, save whales, etc.
