“Remember when you see a man at the top of a mountain, he didn’t fall there.”

This morning my son asked me what I was doing today. I showed him my “to do” list. At the top was written, “write my inspiration blog.” He asked me how many people read it. I told him that I didn’t know how many read it, but if one person did and like it–it was a success.

Today’s blog is late for all kinds of reasons, but it’s still going to be written. I gave my word that I would blog three times a week (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), so I do. My family thought I was crazy tonight for heading up to my office to my computer, but they also know that if I say I’m going to do something–I do it. I hope there are others out there who still give their word and keep it. I hope that some of them are the teachers my children will have one day.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads 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.”     -Jack Kerouac, from his book, On The Road
