"There are two kinds of people in this world; there are thinkers, and there are doers." -some wannabe philosopher
Pretty self-explanatory.
The thinkers think and tell the doers what to do,
and the doers do it without thinking.
But the world wouldn't function with just one or the other. If all the world contained were thinkers, nothing would get done. If all the world contained were doers, nothing would get thought, or innovated.
The thinkers think they have it all figured out, but sit there and think about all the things they've figured out, not doing anything about it. They're the world's geniuses, the people that go down in history for their massive brain capacity, the people that hypothesize and theorize and synthesize.. These are the people that don't let anyone tell them what to do. Thinkers still do, they just think more.
The doers do what they're told, often because they're incapable of thinking for themselves; often because they're too afraid to be wrong; often because they're insecure or intimidated, but also, often they do it because they're not ashamed to let their minds be changed and to let themselves be a follower. Doers still think, they just do more.
So which is better? Is there such thing as a person who thinks and does?
It's a cycle. We think then we do, we do then we think. Both necessary, both imperative to the circle of life. As with everything, it's all in the balance.
It's wrong to let someone always tell you what to do. But it's equally as wrong to have all the answers and not do anything about it.
"The world cares not what we know, but rather what we do with what we know."
I'm a doer. And I'm proud of it :)
