BE... DO... HAVE...

Our Prince2 course instructor is very much interested in Ontology and loves to share with us its concepts.

This one I find rather interesting... Interpreted in my own words...

Common Scenario

DO... HAVE... BE...


E.g. we DO a lot, work hard etc. so we'd HAVE money so we'd BE rich


Ontological Scenario

BE...DO... HAVE...


E.g. we believe we ARE good at the subject, so we DO well in the exam easily, so we HAVE the certification in the end


So rather than doing so much in order to achieve what we think we want, we should believe that we are what we want/choose to be so what we do is based on what we are and not what we want?

Does this make sense?
