RE: Are You a Philosophizer or an Opportunist?

in #philosophy7 years ago

I believe there are more hybrids out there than it is black and white. the type of mentoring your receive may help you to hone your skill set in one direction or another. The ability to think outside he box certainly helps in a desire to be an opportunist. i also believe today's culture filled with the team player approach and countless distractions (family, work, internet, media, etc.) discourages the growth of an opportunist. Folks are not encouraged to think for themselves or to take advantage of opportunity. Society has become a vast herd of sheeple grazing and ripe for an opportunist. let's hope we do not see another dictator rise up among the dumbed down apathetic masses. A good read. Thanks for sharing. - Troy

I pointed out that there are no black and whites. Mentoring is different and rarely works since it is a strategy that has already been applied. This is also the reason why self-help books and seminars to millions of people don't make much of a difference. Same tricks, when applied from a large group of people stop being tricks.

Culture plays indeed a massive role to this. I think most people fail because they try to satisfy other people instead of seeing the larger picture.

The best dictators are those whom you don't realize they are. They usually have a corporation name behind them so they remained unnamed.

has society really become anything more than what it always has
