Quote of the day: "Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."
Dear Steemit friends and followers,
I would like to share another interesting quote with you today.
Source: Pinterest, author: Frank Zappa, famous American musician, composer, activist and filmmaker.
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."
What do you think of this inspirational quote? Would you say it is necessary to think outside the box, leave the comfort zone or simply make any other kind of extra effort to progress with whatever you have been aiming to achieve? What was the last you did that?
Let me know in the comments, I am looking forward to reading your opinions and stories :)
Have a wonderful day and Steem on!

If you want to do something in your life, if you want to achieve something then you should leave your laziness, you must start thinking out of the box,
You need to left your comfort zone, if you want to achieve something in your life.
Progress, by it's very definition, involves change, Things can't get better if everything remains the same. Nothing can be done differently if someone doesn't try something different.
Let's imagine the opposite extreme. Everyone thought the same, acted the same and lived the same. Progress clearly wouldn't be possible, because no one would think or try anything new. Now, of course, that isn't the case, people have a range of attitudes, actions and ideas, and that range, that diversity, means that new things will be tried, some of them will work, people will emulate the ideas that work, and that's called progress.
Every step of progress that's ever been made was made by someone stepping out of the way things have always been done. This is not always obvious or simple, but that's the only ways it's even possible for things to change.
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw
What I think is an achievement and progress requires change. Sometimes the change is a must and things can't get better if we have to see the same things constantly.
No one can do something different if they haven't tried it in a different way. When someone makes a step towards progress it is always done by stepping out the way as it has been done before.
Great post.Loved the amazing words. Really motivating quotation.Yes if there is progress it should be define as the needs to have some aim or goal towards which we move. Otherwise it's all just random movement, otherwise there will be chaos. As there is one saying "By doubting we come to inquire, and by inquiring we perceive the truth." - Peter Abelard.We have to doubt and discover new things and norms are the most important part in there.Thanks for sharing it with us.. @czechgloblhosts
Indeed Norms are most valuable part of way we live our life and keep us in our own boundary and norms show correct path by showing right way and without deviating the norms progress is not possible as a social animal...Every situation of the life is connected to norms and ethic which also makes you a honest person amd good human @czechglobalhost
i think there is still progress but a slow one !
but if you want to achieve something big
you need to think outside the box and explore the way ahead
living in comfort zone never did good to any one
Being slow is not so good for a progress but patience is a virtue:).... Have a good one. Tomas
As i am a student of Sociology and we define the term "Norms" as the standard or something that is usual. This is so true some extent that progress is possible under the dimensions of set patterns but it is an admitted fact that development is possible only if you deviate from the usuality. This quote explains my point of view in a more deep way,
PS: Sometimes deviance is much necessary to divert the behavior to attain the highest level of the development in any field of the society.
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving your thoughts on the quote. I am sure as a student of Sociology you get to study plenty of stuff on the subject. I am sure it will help you a lot in your professional as well as personal life. Wishing you the best of luck with your studies! Tomas
What an interesting and wise phrase ..! I believe that if it were not for that reason we would not have arrived at where we are now and it is that if everything was taken by a norm where the new creative ideas would be left? For example, in my country we have learned to create every day because the situation is quite difficult in every way, although I can tell you that the landscapes we have comfort us. Here rather the rules are not met and the strongest survives (unfortunately). Successes on this day ..!
"Create every day" - I like that! Time goes very fast and the lost days won´t come back to us. Let´s make most of them each and every day. Have a great night. Tomas
In fact, our thoughts should be kept in mind, if we have the right to do anything in life, then every situation of life is linked to the criteria and morality that makes us good people as an honest person.
your quote i like so much..its so thoughtfull.and its touch my heart..thanks for sharing...
