The Effective Man is a Dangerous Man

Hey Reader,

What’s the difference between a dog and a wolf?

You might say one is tamed while the other is a wild animal.
You might say one is a pet and the other is dangerous.

Those are true. But here’s one more interesting observation.

When I was studying wild life, I also studied wolves.
There is a major difference in how a wolf and a dog move.
It is one of the best differentiators for their tracks:

The dog strolls while the wolf strides.

When you observe a dog, he goes from tree to tree.
He stops to sniff. He just strolls along.

Yet when you observe a wolf, he trots.
He stays on a straight path.

When I would ask you: Who of the two is on a mission?
You’d most likely say: The wolf.

Why do we make this conclusion?

Because the wolf acts effective.

The movement is intentional.
It’s not random, it’s not fast, it’s not frantic.

He knows where he wants to go.

The same is true for a man.

As fathers and businessmen, we don’t have time to waste.

That’s what draws me to the idea of productivity.

But in the chase of efficiency, we seem to lose direction.

Trying to move with speed when we should sometimes slow down.

Take a step back. Get clarity. And then decide where to go.

This is what effective men do.

That is what makes us dangerous—because we know where we go.
We know why we go. We know what to do.

We don’t get distracted because we’re on a mission.

That is what sets effective men apart from efficient men.
