ТASK 1: Read and translate

Are you a thinker or a doer?

Thinkers are the people who have a strategic or creative mindset, who plan everything before taking action. Doers are people that аct without thinking twice. The way people alternate between these two mindsets has a major role.

1.Time spent in Thinking vs Doing

. The beginning of something is the stage when the mindset should change faster from thinker to doer. It’s incredibly important that the first iteration goes from idea to result fast. So after the basic concept there should be an execution.

2.The right people

The more complex the task is, the more skills will be needed to execute and that will mean more people will be involved in the process. It is not hard to find a person with the skills. It is a little bit harder to find a person that can think, design and develop something on his/her own. It is even harder for a person alone to start a business. So you need people!

If you have an idea but you don’t have the skill to execute it or you can’t find the right people, then there is little value in your idea. Ideas alone are nothing.

If you are a thinker you need a doer capable of interpreting your ideas. If you are a doer you need a thinker that can come up with great ideas and explain them to you.

3.The transition from Thinking to Doing and vice-versa

You have a team with thinkers and doers, and they need to communicate. Thinkers need to describe ideas. Doers need to interpret those ideas and create something. Doers need to present the result and receive feedback from thinkers.

Thinkers and doers.

Do you want to be a successful person? Well, there are two different types of people in this world, and if you really want to live up to your full potential and manifest your dreams into a reality, you need to find good balance between the different types.

You need to obtain the best of both. Now, you aren't just born one way or the other, you can change it and balance it out.

The Thinker

Pros: The thinker has an open mind. The thinker is clever as can be and curious, with a head full of wonderful ideas that can be considered both unique and original. The thinker is smart enough to think outside the box, and analyze their surroundings. The thinker is good with money.

Cons: They may have incredible ideas, but they are afraid to put those ideas into effect. They will keep coming up with excuses as to why they haven't put their concepts into action yet. Due to the thinkers’ attention to fine detail, they are unable to focus on the bigger picture.

Fear is also a big problem for thinkers. They tend to think more of the cons of a situation.

Because of fear, thinkers don’t live up to their potential.

The Doer

Pros: The doer is brave, tough, persistent, hard to intimidate, hardworking, and generally happier than the thinker.

Cons: The doer often loses sense of direction, or often makes one wrong move. Unlike the thinker, the doer can get easily distracted and end up wandering off the path.

Doers will keep moving forward no matter what.

So, in order to really be a success, you need the mind of the thinker, but the balls of a doer. You need to have clever ideas and determination to get to that goal. You need to be persistent and tough, along with being smart enough to be a step ahead of the obstacles.

If you realize you are either a thinker or a doer, know that it is possible to balance out your qualities. It will take time, but I assure you, it will be worth it.
