I achieved my dream because I seized opportunities. I don’t blame anyone for going for it, I just question the motivation.
“I just question the motivation.”
I’m lost here, could you elaborate on the motivation statement? ????
@flga-2-2 Yeah, I think we’re talking about different things. When I say Dreamer, I mean the type of person who just jumps from one company to another without ever learning to do the real work. So, in a way, “seizing” an opportunity whether they can do the work or not. In this sense, I believe the motivation is a fancy title, money, status, etc. as opposed to finding the right fit for their place in the field they’ve chosen.
I believe you are referring to that rare group of people who actually DO real work. People like that are getting harder and harder to find!
The “Dream” changes over time. To some third-grader throwing a football at the side of a garage, it’s being a starting quarterback in the NFL, no matter how statistically improbable that may be. To a 75 year-old with a grapefruit for a prostate, it’s finding a bathroom/men’s room/outhouse/big tree in time to prevent disaster.
