Those who rise early cart the cause of the day
This is a title those who
procrastinate will never clinch. If you roll on your bed for the first few
minutes of your consciousness, another person gets to decide how your day looks
like. Take the case of a family living together. Someone wakes first and makes
breakfast. Others wake to a prepared table. It is either you take what you are
offered or go hungry! Fast thinkers act on something close to impulse.
They have an advantage: their
ideas don’t die. Someone who thoroughly scrutinizes his ideas is
susceptible to giving up on some of his ideas. Fast thinkers don’t have that
luxury. They lack finesse but are full of motivation. They are more concerned,
first, about bringing their child to birth then they think of how to care for
the child.
Some people claim that the firsts
are not usually the bests. That is absolutely true. But who is talking about
being the best? I was talking about ground breakers. The reason they
can’t be the best is because others developed on their example. The spicy thing
about being the first is that you set the minimum standard!
Fast thinkers don’t rule the world.
Best thinkers do. But fast thinkers give the world something to think about. That
sounds more like a king-maker rather than the king himself. Best thinkers
usually take their time analyzing each and every detail of their thoughts. They
consider problems, alternatives, profit marginalization and all the
technicalities involved in the business.
Fast thinkers generate the ideas; they
take all the glory of the inventor. They take the monopoly even if it
is for a minute. There is a sense of fulfillment in being a fast thinker. I
love the legendary quote that says do not
be afraid of those who dream at night, but of those who dream in broad day
light for their eyes are open to live their very dream. How about those
rise very early so they don’t forget their dreams!
