Write an essay explaining when breaking the rules would be the right thing to do

Breaking the rules just for the sake of it makes no sense. Continually challenging everything is not courage, but a lack of focus. The fact that we can transgress something doesn’t mean we have to do it.Break the rules that limit more than they enable. Sometimes following the established rules is boring. That’s why people break them — to free themselves, not to send a message.That’s what happened to William Webb Ellis back in 1823. He was tired of playing football (soccer for Americans), so the player took the ball in his arms and ran with it, thus starting a new sport: rugby , named after his school. Those who start the fire get the credit. Paul Berry, former CTO of the Huffington Post, recommends that the first step of breaking the rules is distinguishing between projects that are important and those that are genuinely vital. Fire-starters’ is the nickname for those who spearhead change — they don’t just start the fire, they choose when and where to ignite it. They start the fire with a purpose. Sometimes we become victims of the rules we created. When American women relocate to wealthier cities, they adopt the fashion preferences to please the locals. For example, the heel height of women’s shoes becomes higher. If a woman moves from a lower-status location to New York City, there is an 86 percent chance that she will ditch the flats for heels. The pressure to conform is self-imposed. When we try to disagree with social norms, our brain turns on an alarm. As science shows, we have internalized judgments and preferences of other people. Following rules is one thing. Sticking to the norms to be accepted by others is a different matter. T.S. Elliot said, “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” Breaking rules is like cheating. Behavioral scientists found a correlation between dishonesty and creativity; people with the most creative jobs or mindsets are more likely to break the rules. The more creative one is, the easier it is to tell the story in a way that justifies breaking the rules. There’s an emotional upside too — people who break the rules feel smarter than the rest. Maybe it’s because they aren’t conforming. They are liberated — getting rid of rules allows their brains to think freely and let their creative juices flow without limitations. Sometimes, you have to break the rules to start a fire. A simple method for breaking the rules Learn the rules. Learn to play by the rules. And then learn to break them like a master. Pablo Picasso wasn’t just a talented artist; he was one of the most prolific that ever existed. Most people associate the Spanish painter with cubism — an art movement he created. However, Picasso mastered traditional drawing and painting before he explored modern styles. Master it before you break it — that’s what you can learn from genius minds. Understanding when and how to break the rules requires a method. Corporate rules tend to limit their people, more than enable them to do more and be better. This is the approach I use when coaching teams to become more innovative. I use even over statements to prioritize one good thing even over another good thing. My approach includes 3 key priorities that work together; it’s not one or the other, all need to be considered before deciding whether or not to break the rules.
