Dr Rebel: No two rebels are alike
Today’s question: What types of rebels are there?
No two rebels are the same because rebellion takes many forms, shaped by personal beliefs, backgrounds, and causes. Some challenge authority with bold defiance, while others resist quietly through creativity, nonconformity, or quiet persistence, proving that there are countless ways to stand against the norm.
The list of rebel types is endless. Here are 8 examples of iconic rebels (all with videos!). To which one(s) do you relate the most?
#1: Having a crazy idea that your boss rejects immediately, but you push through anyway
Stan Lee tells the story of how Spider-Man came to be.
#2: Having the guts to say it as it is
Simone Biles redefined courage by sitting out for mental health, and then returning stronger.
#3: Keep asking questions until you get to the root of the matter
In the movie A Few Good Men, Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) got Colonel Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to admit he ordered a code red.
#4: Speaking out fearlessly (while others remain silent)
Greta Thunberg confronted world leaders about climate change.
#5: Fixing seemingly impossible stuff (while staying calm)
Mr Wolf (Pulp Fiction) is known for staying calm and solving complex problems on the spot.
#6: Standing up against the big guys
Taylor Swift fought the music industry, not with words but by using a clever loophole to own her music.
#7: Shaking up the status quo
Dick Fosbury couldn’t master the high jump, but instead of quitting, he revolutionised it with a new jump technique.
#8: Getting irritated and not being able to hide it (BONUS for Dutch speakers)
Louis van Gaal showed his irritation loud and clear (the Dutch way 🤣).
BTW … 🕶️💫🐾 Summer is starting here in the Northern hemisphere. A time to slow down, reflect, absorb inspiration and create. That means, ASK DR REBEL will be back by the end of August (or maybe sooner, when creativity goes through the roof, which is not unlikely 🙃).
