BE DO HAVE

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!
