who made the rules?

A woman was cooking chicken one day, and her 6 year old daughter asked her, "mummy, why are you cutting the chicken into tiny pieces?, the mother surprised replied, that's how I saw granny do it. One day granny was came to visit and the little girl asked granny, "granny, why do you cut chicken into tiny pieces before cooking it?, granny replied that's how I saw Gran Gran cook it. They all took themselves to Gran Gran's house and when they got there this little girl asked Gran Gran the same question, and this is what Gran Gran said, "Back in the days, we didn't have big pots dear, so in other to cook the chicken I had to cut it into tiny pieces.

Now imagine this little girl's mum coming home one day to see that her daughter did not cut the chicken into tiny pieces before cooking it, she would begin to yell, that's not how it is done, you are doing it wrongly, but is the girl actually wrong? NO! she is not, she just thought of doing it a different way.

So who made the rules?
I am tired of a lot of 'dos and don'ts' in the world today. Seriously who made the rules?
who made right right and wrong wrong?, who made the whites superior and called the black man a slave, who said you must be the offspring of royalty in other to rule, who made the trouser for men and skirts for women?
Who said east is east and west is west? who made up up and down, down?
Sit back and think about it for a second?
The rules that govern your life who made them?
Do not allow the dogma of society and tradition to keep you from reaching greatness, the "that's how it used to be" or "that's how it's usually done" phrase is just a figment of our imagination and a barrier to reaching great heights.

Don't get me wrong I am not saying we should break traffic laws, or refuse to pay rent, or break our moral beliefs, all I am saying is that let's think about change for a change, let's go out of the box of tradition and reach for the stars.

Steve Jobs said in a speech he gave at the Standford University graduation and I quote "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary".
