The Round Pegs In The Square Holes

Some kids have some kind of magic in them. They're called the gifted ones. Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" tells us otherwise. It tells us that people usually succeed because of significant opportunities that pivot their life and that a person's inherited culture and ancestors changes how a person functions daily. The reason the Chinese work so hard is because their ancestors had to work diligently due to the complicated system of farming.

My point is that there is something about these people that is so utterly right (or wrong) is that they become unstoppable. Nothing satiates them. Something drives them .

No one could have said it better than Steve Jobs:

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… The ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… 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 ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
