‘Overthrow the Status Quo’

“I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.” —Niccolo Machiavelli

This quote is often interpreted as a call to action for change and innovation. Machiavelli was known for his political writings, which were often controversial and challenged the traditional norms of his time. He believed that change was necessary for progress and that those in power should be willing to take risks and make bold decisions to achieve their goals.

This quote can be interpreted in many ways, but it is often used to encourage people to think outside the box and challenge the status quo. It is a reminder that change is necessary for growth and that we should not be afraid to take risks and try new things. Whether it’s in politics, business, or our personal lives, we should always be looking for ways to improve and make a positive impact on the world around us.

Don’t fit in! It won’t address the challenges to success that you will face. Use new questions, people, information, and points-of-view to re-examine situation, goals, processes, and ways of thinking. It’s a new world, one in which the environment you are operating in is changing fast. If you want to keep up, overthrow the status quo.

To overthrow the status quo, try surrounding yourself with new people, the right people who can help you see through your biases. Build new relationships and get other people involved. Build yourself a team of subject matter experts and then learn to rely on their expert advice.

You can also overthrow the status quo by standing out and thinking outside of the box. It includes going beyond the norm. It involves challenging legislation and rules, especially the ones that discriminate against people with disabilities.

About Daniella-Jade Lowe

Hello, My name is Daniella Jade Lowe. I am a PURSUN researcher and I am working on marketing myself as an Accessibility Consultant. Journalism and Politics are my passion. I have a BA degree in History and Politics. What type of disability do you have? At birth, I was diagnosed with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus which are neurological conditions. As a result, I use a wheelchair for mobility. What is disability to you? The only disability is a bad attitude. I have a disability. It doesn’t completely define me; it just enhances me in a way which differentiates and strengthens me. My disability should be viewed as an ability: to see the world in a different way. I don’t really like the term because sometimes it indirectly implies someone is dysfunctional or helpless. The most important thing is to never make assumptions. Someone with a disability can be very, physically, fit and strong, highly intelligent and articulate. What has been your experience from the time you remember till now? - positive and negative experiences. My life as a wheelchair user has been generally okay. Wheelchair Accessibility is frustrating. I was teased a little in school. Other than that, life is great. How do you cope with: -daily activities - your disability, do you have times when you are down - people's reactions towards you. I have carers, a Social worker, District Nurses, a GP, and extended family in this country. I am also in contact with a local disability charity in Yorkshire. I also have a friendly landlord. How do you keep yourself motivated? I must stay organised and practice good time management. I also prioritise my plans. What is your word or advice - to those with disabilities? - to the society Don’t let people put you in a box. You have a voice, use it. 10.
