After reading very interesting post of Carlos Xuma on his blog I decided to share interesting concept with you.
Before we continue, check out his post, then come back.
If you play in the field of those things listed there (or as he hints – between them) – you’re going to struggle. The rules are set and you must play by them. And by those rules you’ll lose. What’s the option?
I’m glad you asked!
Breaking the stereotype of course! You don’t have to play by their rules. You don’t have to play at all!
You see, certain beliefs are imprinted in our minds for so long, most of the time we don’t even see there are a lot more options available for our choosing.
For example there was a roleplaying game I was reading some time ago (I’m a geek, I don’t deny) and there was some very, very good description of the rogue class. I’m paraphrasing here – “If you fight a duel vs a knight, you are playing on his terms.”
Genius! Of course a knight will want to fight on his terms because he is best at those. A Rogue will always chose the sneaky tactics because he is best at this. You see the point?
In life there are a lot of situations where others put you in their rules and expect you to play by them. And most of the time you don’t have to. Unless you want to. I’m not talking breaking the law or something like that. You’ll be surprised how many sets of rules and terms we have every day put by others in our lives. Just think about it and you will see be surprised the many you’ll begin to see.
