   I break the rules that I don’t agree with Which is the direct opposite of how I was raised and that was to follow the ‘rules’ strictly, no questions asked. (So if you break the rules, does that essentially mean you make the rules too? At least the rules you want to follow?)

   I can already tell with my 6 year old that he is going to be a Type-A stick to the rules kind of guy.

   Well, we all know what type I fall under…. (the same type as Chloe)

   It’s weird in Thailand though- everyone lives under the idea that rules aren’t to be taken seriously… maybe just if you’re going to get caught. So what if they’ve just issued an ordinance against J-walking- we’ll still do it! I’ll only follow the speed limit if there’s a policeman nearby. No cheating? Whatever. No one polices it and it’s the best way to pass. It shocks me (again, what type am I?) how ingrained this type of mindset is in Bangkok. You seriously see it in EVERYONE. It’s normal! Makes me let up quite a bit. Much different than the “rule-following” societies of Japan and Korea…

   Rule-breaker… Line-pusher… Grey-area dweller…

   Can be quite interesting being a missionary with this mindset!

   I’m a rule questioner.

   Every rule exists for a reason. It was implemented for a purpose by someone who thought it was a good thing to do at one point.

   Some rules need to be abolished, others need to be upheld…because they are stopping worse consequences from taking place.

   This is something Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote about in chapter 2 of Trust Agents, which we’re discussing over at Christian Web Trends. (Here’s Mary Beth Stockdale’s post on it – http://retwt.me/1e5eA)

   What Brogan and Smith say (and I agree with) is that in every situation you have to learn the rules first, both the written & unwritten rules. Then you figure out which rules can be changed or ignored.

    I am a rule keeper. If i know the rule i will try and follow it to a “t”…i have to let myself know that it would be ok to break or bend them.
