The Fruits of Initiative

“These four people 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 people found in the world.”
