stages in life

.... makes and interesting categorization of them(different stages a man passes through in his lifetime) as athelete stage, warrior stage, statesperson stage and spirit stage.

This is an excerpt from 'Ignited Minds'. I liked the description of the warrior stage & the statesperson stage. I am just noting the gist of the it here.

Warrior stage ... proud of its achievements, it finds ways to demonstrate its superiority over others. Ego is the driving force.

Statesperson/BigBrother stage ... the Ego has been tamed somewhat and with its new found maturity awareness shifts to what is important. The idea is to help others become better.

I exercise my rite to the mile long expression here ... ;)
