The Burr in the Burbs

I’m currently reading A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe and enjoying it very much. In one spot, the observation is made that some people are planners and others are doers. Life can be compared to a shooting match.

In a shooting match, your motto ought to be: Ready, Aim, Fire.

For many of us, it ends up being either: Ready, Fire, Aim or Ready, Aim, Aim, Aim, Aim…

Are you the type of person who acts without thinking? You shoot before you aim? Or are the type of person who thinks and considers, then re-thinks and re-considers, and then thinks some more before making a move, possibly never even getting around the “fire” stage?
