There are two types of people: The internals, who believe all that happens is under their control, and the externals, who believe whatever happens is based on circumstance. I think for most of my life, I've fallen into the category of externals, letting whatever happen, just happen to me. (It's not a good thing.)
My brother is reading Julius Caesar for school right now, and I picked it up and started reading and it has this neat quote here: We at the height are ready to decline. There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. (IV.ii.269–276) and I think I'll let my entry end right there your thoughts much appreciated Recommended by 3 Members 3 Comments. that is a neat quote i think i'm an external to, but i don't think thats all bad, i think i have some internals. » catatonicloki on 2007-04-30 06:33:48 What if you're in between? Can't you be in between? I don't believe that everything is out of my control and I know that everything isn't IN my control. There's a balance and that's where I am. » elessar257 on 2007-04-30 07:58:05 Wow, I think I'm an external. My whole life depends on what season or month it is, or what the weather is like. And it goes in cycles. I mean, it probably doesn't actually work that way, but sometimes it really seems like it. » Sarah on 2007-05-01 12:49:49
