MONDAY MUSE (19 May ‘08)
RIVER PERSON
People are of two types: river people and goal people – Earl Nightingale
Goal people are individuals who write down their desires and deadlines for
reaching them, and then focus on attaining them, one by one. By envisioning the
roadmap of future targets, goal people give their creative minds a clear set of
stimuli to work on. Their subconscious minds can then get to work incubating
ideas and insights that will help them to reach their goals.
On the other hand, river people don't follow such a structured route to
success. They are happiest and most fulfilled when they are wading in a rich
"river" of interest -- a subject or profession about which they are very
passionate. While they may not have a concrete plan with measurable goals,
river people are often successful because they are so passionate about their
area of interest. River people are explorers, continually seeking out learning
opportunities and new experiences. For river people, joy comes from the
journey, not from reaching the destination -- exactly the opposite of goal
people.
Both types can experience personal gratification and success in life, but in
different ways. There are situations and responsibilities that require us to be
goal oriented. At the same time, we can extract the maximum "juice" out of
being an explorer, learning new skills, connecting to fresh knowledge,
innovation and technology. A combination of these two personality types can BE
the BETTER choice to make. After all every river has its destination, too!
Enjoy your journey... now, not later
Learn from the river to BE BETTER
