Mad and Maverick

I am reading "It Happened In India" by Kishore Biyani. Just read something interesting in the book that I must post on this blog. It's simply amazing and I relate well to it. It's about the difference between 'Mad' and 'Maverick'. Kishore Biyani writes, When one is young and tries to rewrite rules, he is called 'mad'. But when he is finally successful, because he dared to risk it, he is called a 'maverick'. Being a confirmed mad myself, who is in the process of turning into a maverick, I can't agree more.
