Thinkers vs Doers

[Faisal2202]

Thinkers on the other hand are more rational and thinks about everything carefully. They want everything to make sense, be logical, and most of the time be perfect before they even make the step forward.

In today’s economy, are you a thinker or a doer? Which one is needed to survive the world?

I am a thinker, or I should say I was a thinker, for a long time I have thought of doing one thing, and then I realized that this way I won't reach anywhere. Because thinkers not just think, they tell their plans to others and science has shown that even if we are doers, but when we tell someone of our plans to do something, like acheiving a new rank, or learning something new, once we tell someone even before doing it, that person appreciates us and our chemical in our body like hormones developes in a way that the response we are to get after getting that acheivement has already acheived without doing it.

So it kills the motivation and energy, so I stopped telling anyone about anything until I have done it. Much better now, and to be honest, in a better position too.

Be the doer, thinkers are great and they're the minds of the good ideas. But without doing what they have thought of, they're nothing. And if they'll not manifest it into doing and action, the others who have also great minds and thinkers will be the one to do it first. That's why if you can be one of them, choose the action doer and you'll see how the real life goes with every plan that's being made. You can think for as long as you can but you'll be stagnant if you're not going to do anything about what you have thought of, and so I choose to be the doer if we can't choose both.

I think both action and thinking are related to each other and must go hand in hand. If you are only thinking but not doing anything practical then its of no use, likewise if you are doing things without thinking or proper planning then you wont be able to get good results. So it's important to focus on both things to get good results, missing anyone of these will deprive you from wanted results. For instance, if someone want to become financially independent then he must first think about ways of getting that independence followed by practical steps for attainment of that independence.  

That's right, it should be done both in action. Like a tandem that should always be together if you've got a lot of plans to make. But if you really have no option and only have to choose one because people likes to put us on situations that we have no other option but only to choose one, then that's it by simply choosing to be the doer. The others can be the thinkers and the geniuses that they can think of, but we want actions and we take matters and that's why it's highly thought of being the one who's really making things happens.

Both thinkers and doers must exist in all generations and both are important for any meaningful innovation. If thinkers are what I feel they are, then their role is indispensable because before ideas are brought to life, they are first conceived, medicated upon and they executed. Thinkers full into the category that conceive and meditate on the ideas while does fall into the category that bring those ideas into reality. Although I don't want to believe that thinkers in the contest of the OP mean procrastinators or lazy forks.

Your thoughts deeply explained the worth of thinkers and doers and its right both individual play an important role for any generation and both are the base of a innovation. For renovation the first step is to imagine it and then developed ideas to plan it. Because before any renovation ideas can be imagined and then  Started proper work on it. For this the key role is going to thinkers because they creat sense for a renovation and also invest time to detector the plan and out different possibilities from it. But on the other side the role passes to doers who accept the idea and convert it into reality. Without thinkers ideas cant be developed and with out doers ideas can't  be executed to its purpose. So both parameters can rely on each others and thinkers should not be lazy guy and only hard working and wise thinkers can creat ideas and develope plans for it which gives the doers different directions to prove it in reality.

I honestly think that a thinker is not needed for the short term, and doer needed for the today. Thinker is important, some academic person in some college writing a thesis may not be important for today, but a thousand of them, writing something everyday, improves the academics, and when that does, then it improves the future, because you have more and more materials and you start to understand the world better.

If you lack that, then you will not be able to improve the humanity further, taking notes down is the way we improve the world, and it's VERY important, but you see the difference in a few decades, not from today to tomorrow. Whereas someone who goes out there and makes a new product and sells and makes billions and brings that to the nation, will be needed for today, it's very important for the economy and how we can sustain.

Be fast in thinking but you have to be slow in acting because it is better not to miss an opportunity when listening or thinking of something while acting accordingly is more important and we can't rush into action like that without taking into consideration order things that might be at stake, all these should be inconsideration and we must know that the accuracy in doing things is more important as not been able to miss out any aspect of what ever is of concerned.

Does this really matter?? It's certain that we will always have either sides and category of individuals, a leader and subordinate and then their manner of thinking and acting tends to be different as well but regardless in this context how then do we place this category of people. A thinker can as well be a doer in most circumstances so both are required to survive in the world.

I tend to think through every step, identifying all the "black swans" as carefully as possible, and only then take any action. Risks and haste often lead to the wrong goal, as a result of which it will be much more expensive to get out of the current situation than not to reach it at all. Therefore, reasonable entrepreneurs (I don't consider myself one of them, but this is temporary) will be very careful with all contacts so as not to lose any, and at each stage they will be able to overcome the uncertainty that may arise.

Everyone has both abilities on themselves, although one always prevails as the most impacting one. Let's say I'm 70% doer and 30% thinker right now. That is how I had to develop myself in order to survive based on the demands of the environment where I'm inserted. But it's not static, and at some point futurely I may have to adapt myself once again, raising the percentage of thinker ability, while decreasing the other one.

Moreover, there isn't a best or right answer here. Each situation faced is unique, and will ask for different proportions as solution. Doers and thinkers are essential and work very well together, when the same objectives are desired, while sharing the same principles and values in life.

[TheUltraElite]

You first think and then you do.

Dont be like Maverick who does before they think because they are an Ace pilot.

In the real world, planning and then proceeding makes sure to keep major loopholes away from whatever process in life. While there will be problems, jumping in without thinking first has poorer outcomes.

For example, buying bitcoin because everyone is buying it, do it without thinking and learning how the price changes work, means you just bought bitcoin at the high and now have to painfully hold it till it breaks even.

[CONVOAI]

In reality many successful people are neither Thinkers nor Doers but rather a mix of the two. They think about potential risks and opportunities first but after making a decision they don't wait too long they start working. I think this combination of thinking + doing is the most important for economic survival.

[Joeboy]

Being the both( a thinker and a doer) is best.. This is coz if folks are just thinkers who wait for the perfect and convenient moment to take an action, then they may end up never taking that action.. And also for someone who just jump into a decision without thinking things through may end up in much bigger problems... That's why folks really need to have the mixture of both and then develop on them if they are to thrive well in today's economy.. We all have the minds to think, so we should make use of it to understand probably whatever decision and action we want to take and then act quickly instead of just holding on for the most convenient time....

Leaders vs Followers, Introverts vs Extroverts.

There are many kinds of personalities in the world. Some characters may even clash due to differences. But if we want to improve economically, we may need to change some parts of ourselves. People believe that the Doers are the ones who win the economic challenge. These are the ones who take the risks and just jump. They’re not afraid of change but rather crave it. They adapt well and they have a wide network.

Thinkers on the other hand are more rational and thinks about everything carefully. They want everything to make sense, be logical, and most of the time be perfect before they even make the step forward.

Reading this post reminds me of one saying which is "Action speaks louder than words".
This clearly indicates that we need to take action inorder to achieve something and just talking or thinking about it won't work.
There are many other stories as well which proves that taking action is necessary and just thinking won't get you anywhere.
So it's kind of obvious that doers are better than thinkers and will survive in the long run.

It's good to think things through because this actually keeps us out of trouble but this sometimes also makes us miss out on certain opportunities. Which is why I believe having people around you who can push you when it matters is crucial because they can be the ones to get you out of your comfort zone.

Both have a rational war in life, whether they are Thinkers and Doers, in fact in economics where thinkers play an active role in making decisions, understanding reality or avoiding losses in the economy, be it household or government, Likewise, actors in the economic field are more directed towards individuals, distribution, production or groups.

In short, actors and thinkers have special points in developing the economy in this world. Actors are not in line if they are not accompanied by thinkers, so both have different activities but the goal is the same in economic life and overall survival. general.

There is a big difference between a doer and a thinker, and the doer is needed to survive the economy. The doers think and act immediately without hesitation, but the thinker spends time thinking. And this often Leeds to missed opportunity. Because some opportunities don't need much time to think but limited time, and hense when you spend time thinking instead of action, you miss the opportunity that would have changed your Life. I believe on the slogan that says opportunity comes But once. Although opportunity doesn't really comes but once but the overall majority of opportunity that come but once are Many. That's whywe nee d to act fast. Some idea are best brought to reality as fast as possible because a slight delay may change your mindset and it dies. I could remember a business Idea I had on my mind but I was so relautant to try it. Not intill I saw someone close to me started it, and started making money I start regretting. And had it been I started it first I would have been in his position by now.

But what we need in this world is both a thinker and a doer. You cannot expect positive outcome if the person will jump into doing and risking things without logical thinking first.

Thinking is part of the process, one should need to think first the future pros and consequences before he starts doing something, to avoid failures and regrets, and improve chances of success.

And thinking without doing is simply useless. Real life application is a must especially if its a product of thorough study and good analysis before doing takes place.

Yes most decisions made without thinking always ends in a disastrous way as thinking involves a systemic way of taking actions such that it will not end with a disastrous result, which is way thinking is very important.  Just as mentioned above, thinking provides a well detailed process of executing things which those that do not think will not have when taking decisions.  Thinking and doing are two things that cant do without each other as both works hand in hand to provide a good result in what ever we are doing at all time. Both are important skills expected of everyone with ambition to become productive in his or her field of study as it helps defines people character.

While planning is important for any action but most people only have big thoughts but they never plan an executive because they are practical and too lazy. Almost every individual have big thoughts and dreams but only a few make them a reality and change their fortune. If everyone had the courage to do the action, most of the people would have been successful in life but this not the actual reality.

Actions requires dedication and focus while people are usually distracted by many things around them and they do not have right mentor to guide them.

Lowkey I think both is needed and matter, but if I had to just pick one side… the doers will move faster and do more well in today world..
Thinking things through is good..  Planning and making sure things make sense, that can save you from plenty and stupid mistakes..  But sometimes if you keep thinking and waiting for the perfect moment, the opportunity will just passes you by..

Most people that really do well and get ahead economically are not always the smartest in the room… they’re just the ones that move..  They try, fail,  adjust, and try again..

You should not limit yourself to one side, as it is smarter to assume all kinds of forms. Real Life situations and problems can be solved in many different ways, so although we are advised to focus on 1 specific path in becoming a specialist, we can go along way if we know alot of things and use that particular thing in an ideal situation. Like Pragmatic eclecticism.
