Apple’s founder Steve Jobs said, “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” This phrase emphasizes that those who believe strongly in their ability to make a difference are the ones who actually bring about change.

The mindset of visionaries, explorers, and innovators challenge the status quo and push humanity forward, often being seen as “crazy” or foolish by others but ultimately making a real impact.

In the early 16th century, many people thought the great explorer Ferdinand Magellan was crazy because his plan to reach the Spice Islands by sailing west was seen as impossible and extremely dangerous. At the time, most believed the oceans were filled with unknown perils like sea monsters and deadly fogs, and no one had ever attempted such a long and uncharted voyage before.

His contemporaries doubted the existence of a western passage and feared he would never return. yet, Magellan was willing to risk everything on an uncertain route, with little knowledge of what lay ahead. He was considered by many to be borderline insane.

So, believing you can change the world is the first step towards making a difference.
