How does one become unconventionally successful, in life?

To me, it is interesting how some people are able to defy the typical societal norms of "Success" and become successful in their in own right. Maybe they think differently, see the world differently, maybe they are not the best educated or do not obtain their education in an orthodoxed manner (for example, self-educated) or maybe, they create their own way in life.

What do you think these types are motivated by most? How come they renounce the status quo, in favor of their visions, despite any number of risks associated by their choices? Is it possible that some of the most flawed individuals out there, are capable of initiating such grandiose journeys by willpower alone?

    I think 'grandiose' is an appearance from the outside, I bet people who are comfortable in themselves and expand who they are, are the people that blossom, because they aren't imitations of something else they are fully themselves and don't live or act to impress others.

    To me that's not interesting.They do it in one of the ways you mentioned or any way they can think of.
