A giant plate of pie: The way I see things

So, I was looking at other people's worldviews that they had posted, and I came to a conclusion. It's your personality, your attitude that determines the way you handle situations, therefore determining your worldview. Let's use this metaphor: The world is a giant plate of pie. If you are a person with a wide worldview, a person who goes out and does things for fun, sees sights, talks to people, meets new freinds, you eat a lot of the pie in your life. You see a lot of the world. In other words, the world has unlimited offerings, but it's your personality that determines how much you take a chance, and how much of the pie you decide to eat. What do you think?

    Tasty analogy. I agree that your personality does affect your daring to see the world, take risks, and live life to the fullest (actually, we're writing a paragraph on that in english now) but at least 30% of that pie is the realm of drugs, crime, and other such dealings. There's also the 10% that is living in the White House, being a member of royalty, a rockstar, and so on. To go back to the analogy, 30% of the pie contains a poison that will kill slowly, and 10% is put up on a high shelf where only the tall people (i.e. the lucky ones in life) can reach it.

    I do not think that this was a very well thought of analogy. 1. Some people just don't like pie (like me). And 2. eating an incredible amount of pie makes you fat and LAZY, and laziness is completely contrary to getting up and seeing the sights of the world. Next time, please think of a better analogy so people can analyze it better.

    I agree. If it were me, I would always be living on the edge (and eating a lot of pie)

    H3nrx:

    The 10% of people who you say are lucky did not just sit down on the couch and watch luck suddenly change them into the President of the United States. While luck may have been a part of it, people have to work to get to the top. Luck itself does not bring people to the top. It is how much they work at it.
