Comments on: Ideas: A Stasis Between Desire And Ability http://eponymousx.com/blog/2009/07/18/lifes-parentheticals/ideas-a-stasis-between-desire-and-ability/ a discerning viewpoint Thu, 01 Sep 2011 16:47:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Philippe Valdois http://eponymousx.com/blog/2009/07/18/lifes-parentheticals/ideas-a-stasis-between-desire-and-ability/comment-page-1/#comment-7492 Philippe Valdois Sun, 09 Aug 2009 03:31:11 +0000 http://eponymousx.com/blog/?p=157#comment-7492 Reading your post I started thinking about the more realistic situation where someone will create a plan of action based on the ideas on another one, such plan being implemented by a third one (or more). Instead of examining the balance of skills needed in an individual we need therefore to do the same with various individuals within the frame of a society, a company or a small group who might plan, for example, a movie, a building, etc. The innovator more often than not has only the ability to think and will need in addition minimal communication skills, but the one, or those, who implement ideas need to have not only the skills and will power to do so but also a certain amount of creative skills (ideas, dreams) to share the vision of the dreamer. In that sense going back to the individual as you imagine him, able to think, act and achieve, your equation has more chance to be true with an achiever because he will have naturally the ability to discover ideas wherever they are, fitting his purpose, than with a dreamer who left with his ideas might not even be able to communicate and share them with an achiever. Also as a thinker he will quickly think about something else before his ideas have a chance to develop. Stasis is much easier to achieve between individuals than in an individual.
