The first ones are just made to regulate certain activities and tell us what a specific society thinks are the right behaviours. While the second one are the invention of people who at one point have stopped trying and just told the world it is impossible to go beyond a certain point.In life you have a choice to follow the rules of your society and stick to what other tell you it is the limit and you could live a happy life.
I found out lately, like most AIESECers, that I am most of the time a misfit of the world around,challenging the system and the status quo. Looking deeper I believe it is a matter of choice. If we can choose the background of our gmail page and even our nationality why can't we just choose the society where the rules fit best who we are?
In few words.The essence of 24 years of enjoying life and 10 lines above:
1. If you don't like the rules break them, you only have on life so why don't live it by your own
2. Limitations are something that people tell you and have nothing to do with what you can achieve
3. Wake in the morning smiling that today you are going to make your own rules and set your own limits of achievement

On changes...
They say that change is the only constant thing in our life and also somehow all the management literature has somehow consecrated that people cannot and should not change who they are. Accept who you are, focus on your strengths, you can not change.
700 years ago people thought it was impossible to cross the ocean. 100 years later someone did it.
80 or so years ago people said it is impossible to land on the moon, 40 years later the first people were landing on the moon.
60 years people though it was impossible to run a mile underneath 4 minutes, 10 years later Roger Bannister did it.
If we can prove that our paradigms, our physical abilities are nothing more than perceptions and limitations of our mind. Why can't we choose who we are as person? Why can't we change and re-imagine ourselves?
Why wait 10 to 50 years for someone to say what I know today. Change comes from the heart, from belief and strong alignment with our actions. My choice today is, what someone is going to make a fortune in 25 years or so writing about it, to be the person I choose to, rather than who I was meant to be.
