Comparing Doers And Thinkers: Whom Should You Trust?

Hello Family,

1) Action Not Words: The Difference Between Talkers And Doers

We are in a time of change, and especially now forward thinkers and doers are becoming more and more important. What is the difference between people who are purely thinkers and people who are doers? It’s this difference, more than the actual amount of time spent doing vs thinking, that characterizes so much of the difference between doers and thinkers.

Where is the line that separates people who are thinkers and people who are doers? There are two types of people in the world - thinkers and doers. Thinkers need to put more of their thoughts into action by not over-analyzing a situation, while doers should first think matters through to avoid making impulsive or careless decisions.

“I learn by doing” is a favorite phrase of the doers who would rather go out and feed the poor than sit down and read about why they should. So as is obvious, businesses need both thinkers and doers. There are many ways of categorizing people according to their personalities, but a simple and effective one is into doers vs thinkers.

It's not the dreamers that are remembered, it's the doers. Surround yourself with great doers and thinkers and copy their actions and successes.

2) What Separates Doers From Thinkers

1) Good doers give themselves enough time to think and plan.

2) Good doers don’t skimp on quality despite their eagerness to do more.

3) Good doers know how to measure their own productivity and revel in it.

4) Good doers find and use tools to help measure their productivity.

5) Good doers like to work with other good-doers, especially if they share the same goals.

6) Good doers love that “busy” feeling, but they don’t allow it to cloud their judgment.

7) Good doers don’t just dive into a project without thinking.

A non-doer is very often a critic-that is someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. We are mostly surrounded by doers, and only a minuscule number of us have the right vision and strategy to set the pillars of success.

3) Makers Vs Doers, The Difference Is Subtle But Critical For Your Startup

While doers aren’t perfect, there’s no denying they possess some great qualities that we could use more of. Doers tend to want to move on to the next challenge right after they finish their last one. But good-doers make sure to acknowledge their successes by making celebration part of the plan from the very beginning.

But the real doers of the world don't have time for criticizing others. Doers are people that jump into a task without thinking twice. It's not as if doers don't plan, but act as they plan. Talkers are usually more articulate than doers since talk is their specialty.

Closing with this quote by Bruce Lee:

"The doubters said, "Man cannot fly," The doers said, "Maybe, but we'll try," And finally soared in the morning glow, while non-believers watched from below. "
