My Rules My Style

That is awesome. You should live your life by your own rules. And these days women are much more independent then ever before. You do seem to be a cool person and knows what she wants. I like that in a person. Don't ever follow others, be your own person.

Hi Toniganzon, I agree. I've always lived my life my own way regardless of what others think. I can't say that I don't care when others have critisized me or thought less of me because I have lived my life against their grain because I do and especially if it is someone I care about...kind of hurts. Still, I just can't be fake in order to please someone else. As long as you are self supporting and not doing anything to hurt anyone else, then you should be just exactly who you are. The very characteristic that brings on the negative commennts from some will more than likely be the very thing that so many people will fall in love with you for and that is what is important.

HI toni! While following our own set of rules, we need to accommodate others and their point of view. We just can not live our life on our own terms, this is what I believe.

it sounds like you're living a life so cool and fulfilled. rules are there to regulate our behaviors into fitting into the space of acceptability. the rules are only good when they are complied with and followed. however, others view the rules as breaking and restricting their freedom. i think your own rules are liberating for you.

Well it's good to have people who dare to be unique in this stereotypical world. You are right, we must dare to be different, speak what's on our mind, and maybe make the world see us for who and what we are. In that way we leave a mark so even when we pass this lifetime something will remain and people will remember us as "the one who dared to be different."

You are absolutely right, everyone should have their own personality and identity, and not just copy other people. Have you noticed that every famous artist, or singer, or composer, director, or any other creative and successful person, is rather "peculiar" so to speak, or "eccentric" as media put it? What it actually means? It means that these people are different, special, not like everybody else, but most important, they are not MEDIOCRE, or MAINSTREAM, they do things on their own, they sometimes don´t follow every single rule, but actually, they make their own rules. To be something special, and not mediocre, to be different from everybody else, is a burden. Especially when you are better than everybody else. We say in my country: People can forgive you anything, except success". If you choose to copy other people and be mediocrity all your life, you will probably always be mediocre, and your success as well. However, if you want to be something more, somebody unique, than you have to face the disapproval of mediocre people. They will constantly tell you: That is crazy what you are doing, You are not normal, and similar things, but you can look at these "insults" as compliments, because that is what they really are. Of course, if you want to have your style of life, your rules, your "peculiarity" that makes you different from all others and special, you have not only to deal with the mediocre people´s envy, but also, you have to learn to respect them, and not to harm them, or even pity them for being mediocre. After all, most people are mediocre, and "normal", and that is not such a bad thing.

that's cool

Yes! I totally agree on this one. I was also a follower of rules back then, but as i grew up i have learned that there are rules that are not worth following. I try to not follow them but still being careful not to hurt other people.

wow. it's amazing to encounter people who can immediately identify what their personal rules are, creating their own identities. i say it's amazing because, while you have this rules, you tend to be influenced in the long run. certain influences like peers, tv and all that... so if you stick so well on what you already have in order to follow your identity then that's a very strong personality you have !

That's very true Toni. In order to live freely and happily we have to live according to our own rules. For me , as long as i follow the 10 commandments in setting my rules , then i am sure that i will be happy living in this earth.

Yes, it's great to just breakaway, be your own with your own rules and style. Still, we have to be mindful of the bounderies. A lot of people did what they think they can regardless of whether people thinks of it in a positive or negative way. It's a liberating experience to be just yourself. :) Of course we can't avoid respecting others too. Our freedom ends where the rights of others starts. :)

What you said, is a speech that wisdom! First, of course, do good and respect others. Then of course we must not, in my opinion follow the ideas of the majority, but rather have their own personal idea, perhaps also the result of our experience of everyday life. Famous Italian saying says: "live and let live." I really admire you in your discussions, they are all quality. The important thing is that do not talk about food, really that subject I do not want to deal with greetings

yeah,each individual has its own personality.You are cool.
