Are you a doer or a talker? (page 4)

Thunder Rider

I have talked and I have done, but when the done stuff is finished I always have a bit of an empty, "big deal" kind of feeling. I feel like the satisfaction that I should have in my accomplishments is trivialized by the fact that "I" did them. So I find something else to DO, seek out and pluck another feather for a cap I refuse to wear.

Perhaps doers are striving unseccesfuly to impress themselves, while talkers have enough self esteem that they need accomplish nothing out of the ordinary to be happy in their own skin.

i often find myself talking about things i intend to do, then i do them, it's rare that i talk about something i plan on doing and don't actually follow through.

Thunder, I see where you are coming from, but that's not quite what I had in mind. The ones I was thinking of will whine about how sorry some aspect of their life is and do nothing to change. And often they will get upset if you try to help them. Also people who tell you,"If you do this, then I'll do that!" But when they see you start to hold up you end of the deal they panic and back out! Some people don't have the temperment to run a business or do some other Earth shaking deed. But talkers freeze up when the chance comes! I think a lot of J-duds do this because they are waiting on God to hand it to them! Sure rejection is painful, so is failure, but if you learn something from it in the end you will gain so much more than the guy sitting on his hands looking at you. Maverick

Thunder tends to never think what he does is a "big deal." Everyone else is always amazed and awed ....especially me

I am defintiley a doer. For instance I wanted a better life and am working towards it everyday. So like my marriage was bad, full of violence and misery. I worked hard, saved up and left him. I put myself through uni to get new skills and qualifications and am doing it again. I wanted to have friends to go out with so I joined singles clubs and in the space of about 7 weeks I have heaps of friends and have no spare time to study and have dropped a subject to fit everything in. I wanted to totally change and reformat the program I work on so that the volunteers can run it so I have found new offices and moved heaven and earth to achieve it and we move in next week and I have put protocols. procedures and poilicies in place to achieve it! I have done so much more though because I believe talk is just that - talk. The trouble is many people dont know how to make their ideas or dreams into reality. So this makes them talkers rather than doers. Mind you it takes all sorts to make this world an interesting place. Some of the best consequences to mankind came from people talking about ideas and posing questions and not necessarily acting on them!

Sometimes I talk while I'm doin it. Hehe. Actually, the wheels turn pretty slowly between talk and do, if its a big deal, like going to college at 40, talk began at 35, but I did it. I quit smoking and lost 20 pounds, I call that doin.

Freein89,

I hit the big 40 in December and I too just started school. I am fortunate to have a supportive wife. She encouraged me to go back and get a degree otherwise I would never have done so.
Sometimes doing isn't so hard as starting.
