To be somebody ? or To do something?
You’ll have to make a decision - John Boyd
Ego is the Enemy : pg.31 - Ryan Holiday
John Boyd : Talk to Mentees:
“Tiger, one day you will come to a fork in the road
And you have to decide which direction you want to go
If you go that way, you can be somebody;
You will have to make compromises
And you will have to turn back on your friends
But you will become a member of the club and
You will get promoted and get good assignments!
Or you can go other way
You can do something for your country,
yourself and your Airforce
If you want to do something,
You may not get promoted , not get good assignments
Not be a favorite of your superiors!
Your work might make a difference!
To be somebody or To do something
You will have to make a decision!”
Shakti Gawain presents an Eastern philosophical view of Being and Doing
Shakti says that : Being , Doing and Having can co-exist
John says : they are mutually exclusive!
