Three Groups of People
The great man Gandhi once said that there were only two types of people in this world. The first type were those who had seen Taj Mahal. The second type were obviously those who had not seen the Taj Mahal. Well, being not having a great mind like Gandhi, I can only narrow down to three groups of people in this world.
The first group of people I believe are the people who are at the forefront making things happen. They are the pioneers. They are the inventors who invent new things. They create changes and adopt changes instantly. They take risk in their ventures. When computers came into being, they quickly threw away the old typewriter and embrace the computer technology. They dared to invest in IT even at the early stage. They are the early birds who reaped the rewards.
The second group of people are the followers. They are a bit cautious in their ventures. They are analytical people who evaluate risks and make decisions. They do not invent new things and they do not create change. Nevertheless, they are able to detect changes over a longer period and they are able to adapt to changes. They are also rewarded for they effort, though a bit late.
The third group of people are the die hard conservatives. They sat around they cultures and traditions, not aware of the changes around them. They do not take risks. They refuse to understand new changes, let alone adapt to new changes. While people are communication through e-mails and instant messages, they prefer to write letters. They let opportunity passed by without noticing. If they did realized what they had missed, they blame their misery on others. Even if they are persuaded, they refused to let go their traditional way. They are the ultimate losers.
Which group of people you belong to?
