Break the Rules To Be a Success Becoming a rebel just may save you from insanity! Since the time we were born, rules have been set into motion. Some rules are to keep us safe, away from harm….rules like: You re not to run in the kitchen Don t go near the stove Don t play with fire You must look both ways before you cross the road - ’ - ’ - ’ - Others keep us out of jail! Don t lie Don t steal Don t cheat Don t hit, kill, maim - ’ - ’ - ’ - ’ And other keep us moving forward and healthy: Don t copy other peoples work unless quoted and referenced Attend 80 percent of classes or you will fail Don t sit at your desk all day without getting up and walking around Don t take drugs Do your taxes and so it goes… - ’ ( ) ’ ’ But what about the rules you need to break? Sometimes these rules are made by others….say…your parents or partner…. But most of them are self imposed. - What are your self imposed rules? - And where do they come from? This is probably a difficult question to answer…as you may just follow these rules, obliviously, because you have done so for so long.
