What else?
In 1996 Apple started its “Think Different” campaign to restore its
damaged brand image.
“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. And they
have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About 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”.

“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the
world, are the ones who do”.
Who are these people?
The Americans
From the colonies to the United States of America
• 1756: War between English colonies and the French one, that in 1763 were defeated.
• George III imposed new taxation on English colonies.
• 1774: The colonial representatives held their first congress.
• 1776: The congress signed the Declaration of Independence and a war against Britain raged on.
• 1783: The war was over with the American victory
American Constitution
• America is a Federal republic.
• The constitution, ratified in 1787, establishes the separation of powers in three-branches: The legislative branch, called congress; The judicial branch, made up of Federal Courts and Supreme Court; The executive branch, represented by the president.
• 1789: George Washington was sworn in as the first president of U.S.A.
My conclusions are that Steve Jobs is the emblematic representation of the American self-made man, but the first to be so were those who
built that nation.
