WAYS YOUBENEFIT FROM

TAKING

YOU L I VE BY YOUR OWN RULES

While living by your own rules is often used to describe a reckless lifestyle,there is something to be said for going outside of the box. Life needs

structure, but who says you can’t build that structure? For some, the eight-hour work day just doesn’t make sense. Not everyone is meant to live

practically. It's important that you choose a path in which you fill fulfilledrather than a life that simply looks good on paper.

YOU LEARN TO ADAPT TO CHANGE

Sometimes issues come up in life that changes your trajectory a bit. Nothingis going to go as planned, and sometimes going the scenic route is the best

response to the events that are happening. There is a quote that says “A bendin the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to turn.” Once you

embody this, you’ll be able to tackle any challenges that come your way. Youmay have to do something unexpected or unconventional, but that’s okay

because you’ve done so before.

YOUR EXPER I ENCES CAN HELP YOU I N THEFUTURE

In an article for Misc Magazine, Dr. Ted Witek speaks about his father’s careerpath. He received a degree in metallurgy but then decided he was passionateabout civil engineering. He took courses while obtaining his PE license. In his

70s, he decided it was never too late and acquired his Master’s inEnvironmental Studies. When he visited Florence, he was able to use his

knowledge of art history from an elective he previously taught. Sometimes,the knowledge you obtain in a seemingly irrelevant area can help you later in

life.
