Name for people who study without getting around to doing
mechanical_fish: This activity you describe -- which I know a whole lot about -- does not really deserve the bad reputation that it has in American culture, let alone the terrible reputation that it has on a website full of entrepreneurs. ;)I believe it was J. Michael Straczynski -- author of, among other things, a pretty good book on screenwriting -- who said:Do not confuse a love of reading with a desire to write.There are lots of names for people who study things without doing them: Anthropologist, writer, scholar, historian, critic, fan, audience member. If you're constantly shying back from taking the leap into doing... listen to yourself! Perhaps your stomach is trying to tell you that you'll have more fun as an observer.If, on the other hand, your stomach is telling you to jump, perhaps you should listen to that as well.
