“You don't get to disruption by following the rules.”

Daniel Ek

Simplified Meaning:

To make big changes and create something new, you can't just stick to the usual rules and ways of doing things. Think about when personal computers were invented. Most people at the time thought computers were only for big companies or scientific use. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the founders of Apple, didn't follow this old belief. They imagined that computers could be small and something every person could have at home. By thinking differently and not following the traditional rules, they created a whole new market for personal computers. In everyday life, this means if you want to solve a problem in a new and better way, you should think creatively and be willing to try out ideas that might seem strange or unusual to others. For example, if you're in school and have a project to do, instead of just doing what everyone else is doing, you might come up with a unique approach that surprises teachers and your classmates. This kind of thinking can lead to innovation and big improvements. So, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and break away from the usual methods.
