There is a disease and you see it everyday.

The guy who commutes to his 9 to 5 job but tells you that he’s gonna “start his own business” someday. But that someday never comes.

How about people who read about self improvement but their lives remain more or less the same in the last 5 years?

Or how about a bunch of guys who huddle in the corner at the bar and talk about picking up some hot babe with his buddies instead of approaching her and DOING IT.

Then it dawned to me …

There are two types of people: PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS.

Spectators are like those people who go to college for 12 years, get 4 degrees but still working at a menial job.

They suck in all these knowledge like a huge drainage pipe but can’t manifest and apply those abstract ideas into reality.

It’s like reading a book on how to build a tree house but they never get to building it. Reading is good enough.

Kinda like the dude who reads these seduction books and go “Yeaaaaaah, now I know everything. I’ll just sit at home and play World of Warcraft”. I haven’t got laid in 4 years but that’s okay. I know these pick up tricks now.

Same goes for self improvement. You see people reading self improvement book for a couple of hours and then they put the book away, feeling good. Like a good masturbation session. It’s akin to that. Call it mental masturbation if you want.

5 years passes by and the person have read over 50 self improvement books. But his life is more or less the same.

Enough with the spectators … let’s talk about the other role: players.

Players are the ones who go out there. And DO IT.

They read the stuff and go out there and get down and dirty. They hustle. They go “Yaaaaaa mother ****er, let’s do it. Let’s go. Let’s go. Go go go!”

Hustlers are business owners, con artists, Dave Chapelle, musicians with record labels and the black kid who hustled me $2 by pretending he needs donation for his school basketball team.

Put it this way: players are the ones in the foot ball game, grabbing the foot ball and sprinting to the end zone. Spectators are the overweight, beer gut fans watching and cheering the players on.

Another thing I notice is that there is a huge disparity between players and spectators.

There are MORE SPECTATORS THEN PLAYERS.

That’s why I think you have mediocrity and plenty of it. Or maybe the spectators just like their roles of cheering and worshipping the players.

(Kinda like how people like to worship the gurus)

For me, I think the human game is to hop over the fence, from the spectator’s side to the player’s side.

It goes to the old saying, “Dont hate the players, hate the game bitches!”

Any comments on this?

As a side note, in the “higher view of things”, there is no such thing as players and spectators, losers and winners. Because the end game is all the same: lessons for the learning.

But if you look it from a more down to Earth, duality view point, there are more spectators then players. Losers and winners. Plus, it’s more fun to rush over to the winner’s side, don’t you think?
