"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."

-Socrates, The Republic by Plato (Joe Sachs, 2007) "Courage is a certain kind of preservation of the opinion instilled by law
through education about what things and what sorts of things are to be feared." -Socrates, The Republic by Plato (Joe Sachs, 2007) Social Responsibility “Who we are cannot be separated from where we’re from.” – Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success. We are never alone; our lives as an individual have always been constraint to one another, every action that we do have its effect towards other people. I define social responsibility as the pursuit of social justice by being aware of one’s physical and spiritual social environment for the good being of one another. Social responsibility is something each individual has to take participation proudly and sincerely. Only then can a true harmonious society that combines the best of both egocentric and altruistic natures be realized from one's idealistic vision.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;
the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. -Plato "Who we are cannot be separated from where we're from."
-Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success. The worst thing to fight with allies is to fight without them.
-Winston Churchill The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
-Robert Frost Change what you cannot accept, and accept what you cannot change.
-Reinhold Niebuhr Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes time. Vision with action can change the world. -Joel A. Barker |
