Jack Kerouac

"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion." 

-Jack Kerouac

I think we may as well admit that yielding is generally a matter of time for us all. Even if we initial rebel and succeed, our trend becomes THE trend. It takes practice to become away of this and become a radical. It takes even more courage. But this is something in life that should go hand-in-hand with that idea of strength being the strength to stand up after falling/failing. We can't rebel all the time. But we CAN rebel at any time.
