"あなたが強力であればあるほど、あなたの行動はルールを変更します。"
— Paul Graham

Simplified Meaning:
When someone has a lot of power or influence, what they do can actually change how things work for everyone else. Think about a big boss at work. If they decide to show up late every day, other employees might start thinking it's okay to come in late too. Or, imagine a famous athlete. If they start wearing their socks in a funny way, fans might copy them, and soon, that becomes a new trend. This is because people with lots of power or fame set examples that others follow. If they act in a new way, it can create new “rules” that people start to consider as normal or acceptable. Thus, powerful people should be careful with their actions since they can shape the behavior of many others.
