Scott Adams – Implement Systems Not Goals
Who Is Scott Adams?
Scott Adams is best known as the creator of the Dilbert comic. But recently he has become equally famous for other things.
His Periscope show ‘Coffee With Scott Adams’, which he puts out almost daily from his home, has become hugely popular over the last year.
Adams is a busy man. He has written a number of non-fiction books. His most famous book, How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big, contains a chapter about the value of implementing systems, not goals.
Scott Adams On Donald Trump
Adams is a staunch and erudite defender of Donald Trump’s intelligence in general, and communication and persuasion skills in particular. His adoration and sky-high praise for the president’s brains and persuasion skills have made him a derided figure in some circles, unsurprisingly. He is also (unsurprisingly) loved by Trump fans.
Scott Adams Is A Man We Can All Learn From
But whether or not you are a Trump fan, we Good Life Guys think Scott Adams is a super-smart man that you should be paying attention to.
Adams has a lot to teach. He tends to take an unconventional but highly rational approach to thinking about and understanding the issues of the day. And for this reason, his opinions and insights are usually very original.
He also has an unusually cheerful and relaxed vibe, quite similar to the vibe of the grandfather of CBT Albert Ellis. And it’s always nice to be able to pick up some of a vibe such as this through osmosis!
Implement Systems, Not Goals
The systems versus goals concept is not a particularly new idea. But for people who have never tried it, it can be truly life-changing.
Many people are toiling under the strain of their own self-imposed goals. For lots of us, having concrete and specific goals can actually be a major hindrance that prevents us from getting what we want from life.
What’s Wrong With A Goal?
A goal is a specific desired outcome. It is an exact end result. And goals are very often ill-conceived because we humans do not know ourselves as well as we tend to think we do!
