Dear Individuals,

My aunt has a saying: “Normal is the setting on a dishwasher.”

The world is too big and rich and interesting for everyone to act the same way. We need risk takers, nonconformists, and iconoclasts to show us other ways to be in the world. We need people to follow the beat of their own drum, so we can get a bigger picture of the world and see it again in new ways.

Don’t dismiss people who do things differently than you. Listen to them. Learn from them. Try to see the world through their eyes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
