the people we remember best are the ones who broke the rules. "

i strongly agree that rule-breakers are the most memorable people. by
departing from the status quo, iconoclasts call attention to themselves,
some providing conspicuous mirrors for society, others serving j as our
primary catalysts for progress.
in politics, for example, rule-breakers mahatma gandhi and martin luther
king secured prominent places in history by challenging the status quo
through civil disobedience. renegades such as ghengu khan. stalin, and
hussein, broke all the human rights "rules," thereby leaving indelible
marks in f historical record. and future generations will probably remember
nixon and kennedy more clearly than carter or reagan, by way of their rule-
breaking activities-specifically, nixon s watergate debacle and kennedy s
extra-marital trysts.
in the arts, mavericks such as dali, picasso, and warhol, who break
established rules of composition, ultimately emerge as the greatest
artists, while the names of artists with superior technical skills are
relegated to the footnotes of art-history textbooks. our most influential
popular musicians are the flagrant rule breakers-for example, be-bop
musicians such as charlie parker and thelonius monk, who broke all the
harmonic rules, and folk musician-poet bob dylan, who broke the rules for
lyrics.
in the sciences, innovation and progress can only result from challenging
conventional theories, i.e., by breaking rules. newton and einstein, for
example, both refused to blindly accept what were perceived at their time
as certain "rules" of physics. as a result, both men redefined those rules,
and both men emerged as two of the most memorable figures in the field of
physics.
in conclusion, it appears that the deepest positive and negative
impressions appear on either side of the same iconoclastic coin. those who
leave the most memorable imprints in history do so by challenging norms,
traditions, cherished values, and the general status quo, that is, by
breaking the rules.
