Marilyn Monroe had this great thought, "If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have gotten anywhere." Which makes me think
Being A Rule Breaker Is Not Always Such A Bad Thing.
I have a dual nature personally, conservative naturally but marching to my own drummer. My contrarian take on the world challenges many straight laced go by the book thinkers and I tend to irritate the heck out of them. I don't let it bother me. It is who I am. I don't advocate speeding or driving through red lights or robbing banks though that is where the money is.
What I mean by rule breaking is thinking out of the box or as I like to describe free thinking, as NO BOX.
Too often people will tell you THIS is the way it is. A nanosecond later there is Gary saying, "WHY???"
The Wright brothers building that contraption in 1903 that was HEAVIER than wind were told if men were meant to fly they would have wings. Today we complain about Boeing Dreamliners still not being perfect with batteries that over heat yet it is a plane like with LUXURY on the inside that weighs hundreds of tons soaring our skies. Quite a different world when you don't lock you brain into IT CAN'T BE DONE or WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY.
Think of Apple and the design of the smartphone, the iPhone. Why does a phone have to have a HARD keypad? It doesn't. Well it wouldn't look like a phone then. Yes, but we can make it look like a VIRTUAL PHONE and take the design from there, and the rest as they say is history. Think Frank Sinatra and the song, I DID IT MY WAY.... Now you know how I think, and I encourage you to BEND your mind with NO BOX as well.
