Irene Roy, recently wrote an interesting book called "Never Beat the Boss at Horseshoes" – a book that is supposed to help us recognize that life is a game. Tell us a little 'more understanding in your concept.Roy: I remember how, when a child, have been constantly reminded "the rules of the game" if they, rebel digital slr, were involved in a game? It 'interesting, rebel digital slr,, rebel digital slr, that the Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus contains, rebel digital slr, synonyms for more than five dozen "rule" that all may be applicable in some way with activities of daily living. What about the rules of his grandfather, "The golden rule", which is unfortunately not enough of us are willing to embrace? If the directive, decision, decision, law, decree, statute, Canon, commandment, edict, ordinance or order, there are numerous "rules" that, at least nominally, are intended to, rebel digital slr, provide guidance, rebel digital slr, and a degree of order Our Lives . All the games we play, the more chaotic sport "extreme" games more civilized, like, rebel digital slr, chess, the most "correct" the sport, for example, polo and, rebel digital slr, cricket, are governed, at least in theory, by rules. But do you remember the first time you said: "The rules are meant to be broken?" And though all games have their dominant players, no one wins all the time. Videogames, by definition, will be winners and losers, and the, rebel digital slr, participants themselves decide where they will live be.In there are a myriad of rules, some of which we can choose to follow, some of which we can not. and there is chaos there is, rebel digital slr, order. There are winners and losers. There is, rebel digital slr, a choice. In other words, life is a game, and is much more fun when you do what is necessary win.Irene: Okay, then I am a rebel at heart. I do not like "rules" So yes, I remember he said "rules are meant to be broken and I still declare the same. (laughs) What words of wisdom for you, for me and all others who feel the same thing ? Roy: There's a light at the end of our street, where you cross, rebel digital slr, a four lane road, and in front of us is a different light on the other side of the road. There is probably a half mile visibility in any direction to four lanes.'m Amazed (with a capital A), when I approach the lights at 4:30 and 5:00 in the morning, rebel digital slr, – which often happens as I head to the airport – how often, rebel digital slr, I see a car sitting, waiting for the green light before making a left turn when no other traffic anywhere in sight. Making that left on red "traffic rules" – are among those circumstances is for me, against the "rules" logic! The wait-for-the-light-to-person, I just decided to turn purple what we call the "rule" common sense. I'm not saying that he or she has no common sense. In fact, probably have a lot because he has clearly chosen not to use too! So, Irene, for you and your fellow rebel,, rebel digital slr,, rebel digital slr, I say, "Go for it!" Irene: What inspired you to write this book? Roy: In 1996 my first book, the care and maintenance of customers, has been published. It contains more than 80 specific things an organization of whatever size or type can do to his relationship with his, rebel digital slr, clients to improve, both internally and externally. It is based on more than twenty years of hands-on, real life customer experiences I have had before. I had to share a message that can help other organizations and, rebel digital slr, I wanted, rebel digital slr, to share. Ten years later I realized that I had more than, rebel digital slr, five decades of real life, practical experience in life, and I had to, rebel digital slr, share a message that can help other people and I wanted to share. Many years ago I printed a statement of the purpose of my being on the planet, "to, rebel digital slr, use my optimism and l 'enthusiasm,, rebel digital slr, rebel digital slr, to teach and inspire others, so that the world of all those whose lives I have been directly and indirectly, a better one. "Never Beat the Boss on how Horseshoes102 to Pitch Ringer after Ringer in the game of life is a way to help fill purpose.Irene: Its mission statement is very dynamic, rebel digital slr, . Tell us about the, rebel digital slr, importance of having a declaration of purpose.Roy: I remember the section "Questions and answers of the" Baltimore Catechism "which has been used for years in parochial schools. He asked, rebel digital slr, the question "What is your goal in life?" I have a vivid memory of the answer – "To know, love and serve God." This response saw me through the years of training, but as I got older I realized that was not enough. It remains for me a very important part of why I'm here, but is not nearly specific enough.
