‘Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds.
The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.’
Albert Einstein
(My Thoughts: WOHOO Spot on!!! LOVE the words! Opposing mediocre thoughts, talks, expressing your own creative views, innovations, your different takes on an issue is tough! People don't like to hear stuff that's against the 'common' view. Thinking independently, going against the norm is hard. You get stares. You get mutters, you get criticism from all those mediocres who can't think for themselves or who can't do anything differently. You get laughed at. But hey after every gloomy night, is a sunrise. It may take months or years, but if you are right... yes the moment does come when you're principle/ view is acknowledged as right. After every struggle of trying to voice out what you believe is the right thing, there will always be someone in that staring crowd, who thinks... hey you know what...come to think of it... she's right. And if you've inspired someone... even if it's just one person.. all those mutters and laughs and stares and raised eyebrows... become worth it :D Amusing!)
YEAH!! HE had so many good things to say! and this one is so right. be true...to yourself...go with what YOU believe...NOT what all the other 'followers' think.
ReplyDeletein the end...it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks...only what each of us...individually thinks...or feels...or believes...
