Workers and Creators

Workers find happiness in doing the same thing over and over again, continually improving their skills toward perfection. Through the pursuit of perfection you can achieve greatness.

Creators find more happiness in making new things. Fructifying, realizing, deploying.

Productive people can be both creators and workers. Create something, then work to improve it. This takes a lot of dedication and an impressive amount of focus.

Many of the most prominent leaders have mastered this. Some of the less successful leaders are those who focus only on creation, but try to delegate all the work. Or they focus too much on the work, and forget to think big.

As in life, the trick is finding the appropriate balance between creativity and hard work.

This phrase was uttered in earnest by someone in a meeting this morning, as an option for collateralizing a loan. It makes for one of the best non-sequiturs of all time.
Stub your toe? “Give your dad your house I can’t believe I just did that!”
Disbelief over a crazy play in sports? “Well give your dad your house, I can’t believe he caught that!”
Confused? “Give your dad your house, what the hell just happened?”
Endless possibilities!
