Does having the comfort of knowing that even if you fail you have something else to fall back on, prevent you from giving a chance that you have your all?
Does having multiple options and the luxury of choosing what you like take away the killer instinct?
Is it the options or the attitude that determine whether you look for excuses for your failures or look to learn from it?
I know most of you would instantaneously say in unison it’s the attitude. But I am interested in understanding the role of availability of options in shaping a person’s behavior and attitude.
A professional who knows he is and deserves much better than what he is getting at his current job doesn’t do anything about it and continues at the same job, cribbing about it every other day because he has the option of staying back in an environment which he is not happy with but has known for years and hence gives him a sense of security.
