First, a bit of background.

I attended a meeting today. Without getting into specifics, it involved a co-worker of mine. It's come to light that he's joined the company I currently work for as a method of recruiting specific individuals for a venture that he's interested in. We all share a few traits in common, including intelligence, ambition, some decent connections and not a small amount of ego. The idea is to form a new organization. The fellow organizing it is not directly involved but rather takes on the role of consultant, or as he put it 'making sure we don't fall on our asses'.

We discussed a lot of details about what we want to do and how to get there and during this I hit an epiphany of sorts.

First off, I do have a bit of an ego and I'm the first to admit it. Aside from that, I haven't had much trouble getting what I want. I've always attributed that to my attitude (rather than wishing, I figure out where I want to be and then what I need to do to get there) and my ability to visualize these things. I'm the sort of guy that refuses to believe that anything is out of my reach and therefore I generally manage to get what it is I'm after.

This is going to steer my life in a new direction, but it's one I'm happy with. I had always intended on running a business and this will allow me to get to that position much more quickly than I could've on my own. There are ten of us involved, all hand picked by our mentor of sorts and he's willing to use the influence he's gained over the years to help us get to where we need to be.

So down to the grain of it. I've always believed that the world is populated by two sorts of people - thinkers and doers. Both are valuable and neither can function without the other. I am a doer, which I know. I figure out what needs to be done and I do it. A thinker, I believe, is more of one who dreams and imagines, who is constantly planning and coming up with new things but lacks the ability to pursue those things to the same extent. Obviously nothing in the world is black and white and nobody fits neatly into either of these categories (myself included), but as far as I'm able to tell everyone I've encountered to date may be classified as one or the other.

So, now out to the forumites here. Do you agree? Which do you think you are? Do you think I'm off my head and have no idea what I'm talking about? Honest opinions are welcome.
