i-TFTD #290: On Acting Out of the Box

#290-1. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
-Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)

290-2. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
-Dale Carnegie, pioneering self-help author of How to Win Friends and Influence People and other books (1888–1955)
