Unpredictable. Unfocused. Just like life.

From Seth Godin:

Thrill seekers love growth. They most enjoy a day where they try something that was difficult, or--even better--said to be impossible, and then pull it off. Thrill seekers are great salespeople because they view every encounter as a chance to break some sort of record or have an interaction that is memorable.

Fear avoiders hate change. They want the world to stay just the way it is. They're happy being mediocre, because being mediocre means less threat/fear/change. They resent being pushed into the unknown, because the unknown is a scary place.

Thrill seekers also tend to outgrow their companies because those companies tend to stagnate as Seth notes:

How do explain why so many organizations get big and then just stop? Stop innovating, stop pushing, stop inventing...

I've never really given it a lot of thought, but I always found the impossible task far more interesting.I've always found high pressure situations more fun. I like to make a big impact, and leave a great impression.

So what are you?
