"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."-Albert Einstein. I have always looked up to Einstein as I believe him and I could strike one long,funny, and interesting conversation with our out of place personalities and geniuses. For me I try to find other routes to achieve certain things, for example while my homework or  project may say to to something a certain way I either skip steps to make it easier by finding some other equation or I turn the project upside down doing something different yet still in line with what I am asked for. Going the opposite way is a thing I do often without noticing, in some cases it makes what I am doing harder but I keep on at it so when I do as everyone else it becomes even easier. Not only in my work do I go against the rules but in my appearance most of my friends have short hair and I am one of the only ones with long hair making me stand out from the group. Also I am colorblind so the way I look at the world is different from others, then again going in  the opposite direction. "It takes a touch of genius" to spice up peoples days, I always tend to make my friends laugh or we go into a topic that is pure seriousness making those boring 2 or 3 hours classes more entertaining, this is a task I am used to doing but it takes courage to bring up those topic or make a fool of yourself for a bit of entertaining. The days I am absent their lives turn normal, they now have to do their work and there isn't that person who brings up those crazy (serious) topics and turns around their day.
