Discussion Plan: Establishing Something and Maintaining It
Is there a difference between these things, if so, what is the difference?
- Setting a rule that says “do not enter the room without knocking”
- Remembering to keep the rule that says “do not enter the room without knocking”
- Starting a friendship
- Keeping that person as a friend
- Earning a name for being fair
- Remembering to always be fair
- Keeping a name for being fair once you have it
What is the difference between…
- Putting a sign on the door to show visitors that they shouldn’t enter without knocking.
- Putting a sign on the door to remind visitors that they shouldn’t enter without knocking.
- Putting a sign on the door to remind yourself that you shouldn’t let visitors in unless they have knocked on the door first.
When might you need to post each of these signs?
