The Fruits of Initiative

“These four individuals are found in the world. What four? One who lives off the fruit of initiative, but not deeds; one who lives off the fruit of deeds, but not initiative; one who lives off the fruit of both deeds and initiative; one who lives off the fruit of neither initiative nor deeds. These are the four individuals found in the world.”
