Breaking rules to build something better? Now that's a vibe I can get behind. But here's the kicker the article didn't quite address: sometimes, the best rules to break are our own.
Think about it. We all carry around mental rulebooks we've written for ourselves over the years. Maybe it’s “I must always stick to what I know” or “Everything needs to be perfect before I launch.” These rules might feel safe, even comforting, but they also keep us playing small.
What if Steve Jobs had stuck to his ‘rules’ as that scrappy kid in a garage? Or if Warren Buffett decided, “Eh, better not challenge the system”? The hindsight of their success makes breaking rules look obvious, but in real time? It’s terrifying brilliance.
