On Saturday after reading Originals by Adam Grant, the last paragraph touched a cord with me. He raised the question of whether one should enjoy the world or improve the world! Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist, he is a leading expert on how we can find motivation and meaning, rethink assumptions, and live more generous and creative lives. He inspired me to think more about what it is all about. Here is my post:

Enjoy the world or improve the world! Make money or spend money?

The American author Elwyn Brooks White wrote:
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it difficult to plan the day.”

Are those two call to action mutually exclusive?

To enjoy life one must have an enjoyable occupation, a comfortable house surrounded by loved ones and be in good health. It is achievable as making it happen is in one’s hands.
Improving the world is a more complex exercise. Working for a better world is an uphill battle. In fact, by trying to improve life for others, one may need to give up some pleasure, putting one’s own peace in abeyance.


What do you think?
Which life mission do you recommend?
