Thinkers vs Doers

[Vaculin]

Both a thinker and a doer will survive in this world, but who can make a big difference if ever?

If you are a doer without long term thinking and preparation, you will only attract temporary success.

However, if you are a thinker and a doer at the same time, you act what you think, and you think what you're supposed to act the right way, clearly the success will be inevitable.

Always managed to become both, sometimes its hard but its all worth doing.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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?

Both are important because a thinker and a doer can go hand in hand in the context of surviving amidst economic turmoil. This means taking advantage of conditions where before putting them into practice, one must first create a strategic plan. I personally fall into both categories and can be categorized as a thinker or a doer under certain conditions depending on the momentum.

When we don't think, we don't know what to do in the current economic climate, so the two are interconnected in this situation. When talking about what it takes to survive in the current economy, the answer is planning, execution and doing because most people only talk but don't do anything.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

Everyone is actually a thinker but not everyone is smart in their thinking or at least focus their thinking on problem solving and that where the difference in value between persons comes in. On the other hand, even doer must first undergo stages of thinking and what to do, when to do, and how to get it done. The world today doesn't just applaud thinkers you have to be solving problem with your idea so I'll say both thinkers and doers are important in the economy amd without either of them i can imagine what the universe would look like.

I so much like the part were you talked about the world not applauding thinkers, but doers.. it’s so true..  A lot of people out there has taught and ideas that could make the world better that what it is today, but just because they aren’t good in executing their ideas, All of those potential life saving taught and idea are just sitting dormant on a paper, in their head..

On a serious note, we human have to know how to balance been a thinker and a doer, because thinking alone may be cool, but isn’t worth it..

Let's think positively and also act in same manners, this is very important, we should not be only the thinkers alone but he do well who make things happen in reality, instead thinks have to be done accordingly with our admiration for the best we wanted to see happen, this may not come as we wanted except we put in more efforts and action towards having it come through, let's be less of words and much of  action than those that often speak and act less.

We need to translate our thoughts into action. If we are confident in our thoughts and plans, we should begin to implement them. Many good ideas remain just thoughts and don't benefit individuals. Thoughts supported by a good plan can yield great benefits. Before starting to implement something, it's necessary to think about and analyze it in detail.

Instead of just talking, we need to be people who strive to bring good ideas to life.

I would say that changing is not always the solution. We often hear that only hardworking and extroverted people can be successful but in reality many introverted and thoughtful people are also doing great, I think it is more important to use your nature properly than to completely change it. If someone is thoughtful they will be able to make good decisions.  And if someone is hardworking they will be able to move things forward quickly. To survive in this world you don't need just one type but rather you need to understand your strengths and use them, If everyone is the same, the true nature of the human race will disappear.

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.

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

If I could get what you are saying correctly, is like you are referring to the doers as an overconfident person, and if my perception is right then I would say that it is wrong for an individual to be overconfident, because it actually leads to regret in some cases. Because it doesn't provide room for thinking. And making decisions without thinking it through, calmly and being thoughtful can actually result in making reckless decisions. Taking risks is very important, but it is also very important to take calculated risks. You can't just wake up one day and decide to relocate, or start up a business without planning for it from the very beginning.

Both thinkers and doers are actually good, but being overconfidence can make a different story. The fact is that making thoughtful and wise decisions is always the right thing to do.

[libert19]

I am thinker or more like over-thinker (though, this doesn't discount the fact that I sometimes take haste decisions) — I can spend hours thinking but when it comes to actually doing anything I seem to have hard time moving my leg. As for which is one is better to survive in the world, well thought out decisions can't be having disastrous consequences, I like to think so may be thinker?

But, I got a better idea — a combo of thinker who guides the doer is best.

I think it is more important to use your nature properly than to completely change it.

...and here is me who is confused of what my nature is. Sure, I said what I said above, but I like to think it's all learned behavior rather than something inherent... something original.

It all comes back to each of our mindsets, and indeed to achieve success in the field we are in, we must be able to adapt to what is needed, rather than insisting on ideas if they are not good. So I think what you said is correct, it is better to be ourselves, but in our work, we must also be professional in order to achieve success.

Having both is needed to survive in the world.  Without thinking, most of our actions will be in vain.  Since we often act on impulse, we might do unexpected and and unplanned things that will bring more hardship to our survival.

While lacking action won't do anything done, so to maximize the result of our effort, we must apply the two things, thinking and doing.  Having a plan can make our actions smoother, and getting into action makes our plans come to fruition.

[Cgrexp]

Both are needed to survive in today's world, there are many people that are both thinkers and doers, for example I don't just jump the bridge without looking into the depth of the water under, to avoid injuries.

You think first and take actions, the thinking part makes you more careful with your selection of choices and the actions makes you nailed it, bring the dream alive.

Many people still thinks only and procrastinate what they wanted, this is why Manny people don't end up doing anything, they have ideas, they are brilliant in that part but not taking actions make them weak.  

We should think before doing any work, especially in risky work. However, if we panic and overthink at a place where we need to make the right decision at the right time, it may not be possible to start that work at all. Thinking is good, but it is not right to take it as an excess. Moving forward without a plan in any work means walking in the dark. Even if we plan, if we do not start it, then that plan has no value. I think it is better to do as much as is necessary without wasting extra time on any plan and should start it and after starting the action, the plan can be adjusted again by looking at its results.

To be hardworking is very much okay , but you know what will make  things better? If you doing the hard work in a smart way . Nothing beat smart work the ability to make use of any opportunity that comes your way . Many are hard working but they don’t know how to make good use of opportunity that comes their way, they think the more the labour the more  they are growing , that’s why now and days the smart ones are the ones at the top . Both thinker and doer roll together .

This is right, someone who wants to succeed would have tried all option that is likely opportuned from them to succeed. Sometimes the place where we are putting in all the hardwork isn't were our success is supposed to come from and we end up getting nothing at the end, apply hardwork and smartness in the actual direction, and it would be easier to experience success.

[Rgram]

Both a thinker and a doer will survive in this world, but who can make a big difference if ever?

I don’t really agree with this if it goes exclusively.
A doer would easily survive in this would because, they have the courage to act on their thoughts as opposed to a thinker who only come’s by these ideas, develops a thought and fails to execute it. Having a thought and not executing it totally invalidates it. It becomes of no relevance as though you haven’t thought of it at all. The case becomes different though, when you are able to transfer these thoughts to someone that acts on them, the doers. Your ability to transfer them to be actioned is you actually doing something about it.

[EFS]

I don't think there's a clear-cut distinction between the two. Sometimes you overthink something, carefully weighing the pros and cons, but still can't find the courage to do it. Or something else comes up, time passes and you never get around to it. Other times, you act without thinking at all. The outcome in both cases can be positive or negative.

I don't believe in making such rigid distinctions. In life courage matters and so does luck, but timing is the most important. If you don't act at the right time, you might still fail even if everything else is in your favor.

There are many people who always think excessively and due to excessive thinking, their main goal gets diverted and they cannot complete their work properly while thinking, in my opinion, by thinking less and thinking properly, they can do their work with less thinking. Excessive thinking can waste time and also take away success.

[jaberwock]

What I see "thinkers" as people who say "Hey, I have an idea, you do it and we share the profits, I will do absolutely nothing but come up with an idea, and I feel like that worths something". Never liked thinkers, I think doers are the people who make this world turn. Doers think too, not like they never think, but they do not freeze at thinking stage, they think and they do, and that's why they are doers, and they are the ones who are doing a wonderful job.

I personally think that the best we can do in this world is to try to be a hard worker who does as well as they can. If you come up with an idea, just do it, don't be just a thinker, do something, doesn't have to make you money, just do it and see what happens.

[sana54210]

It's paralysis basically, thinking forever. I have done that before, back in my old job, I would think better ways, and instead someone else would do it half ass but still got the job done instead.

If you think about something for 12 hours, and find a way to do it for 3 hours, that's still 15 hours, if someone didn't find a way to do it properly and took 10 hours to do, you did it in 3 hours and he did it in 10, but he still beat you by 5 hours because you spent 12 hours working on cutting that. Sure in the future that might help, but reality is that you are still outpaced by that person at that moment. Doer just gets up and does it, thinker could face a paralysis of efficiency and best way to do something and just end up terrible.

[Nightwatchmare]

Main looking at this two, you will found out that the both are so much importance, no one is lesser than each other, because the both works hand in hand, just like an employer without an employee is a big work load. Of course thinkers brings the ideas to the table while doers put it into work which will automatically produce results. If you are a thinker, who always think on how to become a president someday without doing things that can get you to that place, you will just be a dreamer. Thinkers as you think, never you forget the doers.

[Lida93]

When working towards success in any niche of life a laid down thoughts must be set in place and the pros and cons of what to be taken action on must be considered and a navigation plan for total prevention or absorption of the weight of the cons.
There then can actions be taken according to laid plans as has being well thought out.  Just jumping on anything can be disastrous and there may be no lifejacket of escape that thinking would have provided prior to the action period.
