The reality (that he acknowledges in the book) is that we are often a changing combination of these types (as well as an aspiring master) in one or more aspects of our lives.

So do some soul searching and pick a few things to be great at and start the hard work of doing what is necessary to be your best self." i see a contradiction here. maybe you don't - can you explain? my take: sometimes it's real easy. sometimes it's real hard. often it's somewhere in between. so let me ask you a question …

"How am I supposed to live like this...?...I haven't had a pay raise...nobody else works this much..." You know the dialogue...I've been guilty of it myself! Here's my philosophy on this...at least as it relates to the workplace, and perhaps as it translates to the whole life experience: Everytime you cash a paycheck, you are announcing loud and clear (at least to yourself) that this is the best damned job on the planet for you. Now, before you get all worked up with the two-hundred twenty two reasons why you're "stuck" there...just consider this. You cash the check, spend the money, and report back the next workday to do it all over again. You might argue that, "wait a minute...I've been sending out resumes...scheduling interviews...making every effort to change..." Good job...keep it up...go for it...but....really...no one is trying to hire you away fron your disaster job...no offers have been MORE attractive...no one is saying "here you go...the perfect job..." Or at least you haven't accepted that better position. So how does that define the job you're doing right now..? I want to suggest that it means you are there! You are in the job that, at this time...in this place, and considering all that you are willing to sacrifice for change, represents the BEST place for you. If you can't do any more than complain, behave in a disruntled manner, negatively influence co-workers with your plight...while all along running to the bank with your paycheck...then you are really in conflict with you. You're fighting with yourself...and you're blaming the environment within which you currently survive for not having the good sense to take better care of you. Happiness...it's relative. There is no perfect job...no one is going to love you like you love yourself (save your creator) and therefore, your "happiness" depends on your attitude about the place you are in...not the one you think would be better...not the "if only" circumstance...not me, not your spouse, not your kids, and for goodness sake, not your co-workers. Decide to love yourself right now...love your circumstance...the one you're in...and change it if it doesn't light you up! If you will not, perceive you cannot, or accept your "traptness" in this life....well....you're the mason that built the walls....RIP 'EM DOWN!

You are responsible for your own happiness

Group think happens because excepting the vociferous others keep quite in a group. This keeping quite may be due to few things: a. I should say some thing readily receiving acceptance or else better I keep quite b. I know the chairman has already decided, what happens in the name of discussion is merely eyewash, then why waste energy, c. some members who want to say some thing (perhaps as an excercise in impression management )and gets snubbed I am afraid of same fate even though I know I have a valuable point. d.
