TRUTH OF THE DAY

TRUTH OF THE DAY
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

They didn't laugh at the genuises. They laughed at their ideas. They didn' laugh at bozo's ideas they laughed at Bozo. That's a very important difference. So if your ideas are being laughed at you may be a genius or very unique at the very least.
