Such is life, Kelvin. No matter what we do, there are always risks.

I don’t consider myself a huge risk-taker, but it’s all a matter of perspective. I’m sure many people think I take all sorts of risks that I see as standard practice. In fact, your comment has got me thinking about a possible future post…thanks for setting off some inspiration!

Brittany, you make a good point. It certainly is tough to change. That’s why I place so much importance on understanding the different ways people use time and make things happen.

Getting stuck in a particular mindset may simply be because you’re unaware of the alternatives and haven’t given them due consideration. That’s why I enjoy learning new concepts and why it’s useful to hear from people you don’t completely agree with.

The key is often to challenge yourself first, not others.

Hey Martin. I like the post you have written. It is good to be able to read a post about time from a different perspective. And I like the idea of the three ways of managing time and sometimes I do not even realize that I should learn from my past though that thought slips away and being cautious is the way to go, but then there are also risks.

It seems that there are benefits and weaknesses to each of the three said characteristic types. Isn’t it unfair in a way though too, that our past experience dictates what our study methods and attitudes are? I think that we have the ability to change this, but it’s also something that doesn’t come easily. If someone has always been a procrastinator, they are going to have a rough time transitioning out of that mentality if circumstances call for it. But no doubt, it can be done.

This is a great series you’ve got going, I’m going to stay up-to-date on it.
