Mike Krzyzewski - "The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions."



I think that Mr. Krzyzewski was absoloutely right when he said this, for the most part, but theres more to it. Personally, when I give myself rules, its more for my benefit. I give myself rules to live by so I dont mess up. If i know I need help in a certain area of my life, I'll give myself rules. Like if i have a weakness, I'll put up some rules. Then there are those other times, when I dont want to face a decision I have to make, so I go by rules, so I can deal with them later. I never realized I did that though. I think it's all in the situation.

I think that Mike Krzyzewski is so right. I know that I have set rules for myself so that I can make as few mistakes as I can. I think that in most things I do I have rules, sometimes you don't realize it but I think you actually do, in everything you do you have something telling you to do something and it is just something you live by but don't always notice because you are used to it.
