Play By The Rules

or create your own game

If you want the winner’s trophy, you need to accept the existing rules of the game. The person or organization that awards the trophy, makes the rules.

When you don’t like the rules, you have a couple of options:

Get so good at playing the established game that you rise up the ranks. Don’t stop until you’re in charge of the rules and make the changes that are needed.

Or create your own game. You’re not the only person feeling excluded, so create a new game for the people who can’t participate in the existing one. Remove the traditional barriers to entry and before long you’ll be leading a new league.
