Wise Words: Thomas Edison on Rule Breaking

Bud to Boss Editors Leave a Comment

Today’s wise words come from the great American innovator Thomas Edison.
  "There ain't no rules around here! We're trying to accomplish something!" --Thomas Edison

Those people who awe us with their creativity are just very persistent and willing to work outside the rules, whereas most others give up too early and allow themselves to be constrained by the way things have always been done.

What “rules” are you willing to ignore in order to accomplish big things?
