On one hand, I hate rules. I'm pretty creative about finding ways around them, and I always think twice about thwarting2 those of others.

一方面，我不喜欢循规蹈矩，而会很有创造性地寻找其他方法，在阻止别人的这种“创造性”时，我会考虑再三。

I simply hate to put limits like that, but rules are rules.

我很不想做这样的限制，但规则就是规则。

So about two years in, I said, "OK, I usually hate rules but I now have a rule: no more PowerPoint in my meetings."

大概过了两年吧，我就说，“好了，我通常不喜欢立规矩，但我现在必须定个规矩，和我开会时谁也不能再做电子演示文稿了。”
