Does the word "rule" usually in the plural rule in success?

 

The noun, "rule" is an important word in any endeavor you attempt.

As you know if you read this blog on an irregular basis, I ask questions in the search engine slot, my search engine uses Google.

There are always "rules" to do whatever you attempt successfully, in obtaining a license in real estate, or politics, the rules matter, winning or losing to the rule makers, but who gets to make the rules? 
I attempted to find out using my search engine, and the results were mostly the same insofar as there were no "opposite" viewpoints, because the "process of rule making" is for the rule makers who are in the "power structure" of the entity, organization, or political party, they decide if you succeed, and you have play by their rules. 
Taking to the courts is time consuming, and winning depends on the certain ways of following the rules, and insofar as success, succeeding depends on how you do that too. 

If you want to be a hairdresser your state, there are tests, the "rule" is an equivalent to the tests to determine your competence and usually passing the tests allows you to have a license.  If you want to drive, you need to get a license. 

Knowing the "rule" successfully achieves your goal.  

If you are running for office and want to win, you need to find out what the political party in charge does to win.  If you know they win by doing certain things, those "certain things" are the "rules."  
Some say winning in politics is the ultimate success, there is nothing written out, it's up to the party that lost to figure out how to do the same thing as the party that won.  For instance, winning isn't only based on running a certain kind of campaign.  You need to figure out what they did to win, but within the scope of the party in power's defining "legality."  And keep in mind, nothing is illegal if you work within the legalities that the party in power uses to win, the legalities are based on that pesky word "rule" often in the plural, too. 
Summing up, winning means succeeding by knowing the "rule."
 
Sometimes thinking "out of the box" of the "rule" can mean success, but if you don't know the "rule" for success at whatever you want to do, then don't expect to be a success.

What happens to words and meanings

As most of my readers know, in this blog, I've limited myself to asking questions.

Now I have to place questions in the Google slot, and ask it in many different ways to get some reference material.

Among the answers I received that weren't dictionary website sourced, I found the one gem that actually informed me about what I sensed but I couldn't prove, and Goggle approved it, so I present my gem source as true and accurate.

As I have suspected, certain words that are in use must be approved by the political power structure in each nation marshaling words for their "politically correct" usage, for instance in France, the word "solidarity" has a unique meaning for codifying what the powers want to accomplish in pursuit of their political agenda.  

Here's another question I asked my Google search slot:  What happens to those words that are not politically correct?

I saw this:  "And for more expressions you should never utter, check out the Common Phrases That You Didn't Know Have Racist Origins."

And I added 2 websites that I cite in my research links.

As all of my readers of this blog know,  I leave my readers to puzzle out what they want their words to mean.  I expect my readers will make their own independent decision whether to use only PC approved words, or continue to use words based in their own POV's and  sensitivities.
