Maverick
Folks known as mavericks aren’t always popular. Unorthodox, non-conformist, and independent-minded, they refuse to go along with the mainstream mindset (often mislabeled as conventional wisdom). Unlike dead fish following a stream’s flow, becoming nothing more than tasty repasts for vultures, mavericks swim upstream in a constant struggle to seek new truths and disprove old ones, with little regard for those who may be offended by their efforts.- Wednesday, April 6, 2011
