(the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine, sometimes referred to as the Harry Potter of tax code enchanced Personality Theory.
You do know today is Friday, right? Then why are you still reading? Sit back, relax and listen to Episode 101 of the ever popular, Video Friday ( ‘the Wakefield Doctrine Goes to the Movies’).
1) To be more precise, this is the Third Installment of the 3-5 Part Series on the Practical Application of the Wakefield Doctrine.
About clarkscottroger
Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.*
*which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one
Congratulations! - You’ve just discovered the Wakefield Doctrine!!

As a clark I will say what a simple plan. (pretty good movie)
It is a true thing. In order to achieve something different in the world you wake up in every day, you have to be looking at a world that is different, albeit foreign compared to what is normally “there” upon waking.
Knowing “what you are predominantly” is the beginning point. Second – you have to be willing to let go. Those two words “let go” encompasses a whole buncha shit and will mean something different to a clark, scott or roger. For a clark, it could mean letting go of fear of social interaction. Leave it in the closet or under the bed even for just an hour. Pretend you are in a foreign country (you will be) and smile and be the first to say hello. Yeah, maybe the accent is off but it’s the effort that first counts. Or…. pick up the phone and call about a job or ad or whatever. Look at it as a roger would. “We’re all in this together right?” (except for the clarks. no! don’t say that lol)
For rogers, stop the automatic “rush to judgement” that fills your head and take a step back. Everyone does not always “fit the mold”. And there is nothing wrong with being “different”.
scotts? don’t know if any of this applies…..
… “Pretend you are in a foreign country (you will be) and smile”
Damn!! I bow to excellent expression of (difficult) concept! That is the most helpful of analogies (or metaphor? or palindrome? never can keep them clear), but how useful is that concept, at least to us clarks.
Of course it’s a good analogy as I took it from you! All kidding aside, I do like it (foreign language analogy). Everyone knows it is best to learn to speak (a new language) while in the company of the “natives”. I am a proponent of the immersion method for learning the Wakefield Doctrine. Speak and practice (speaking) so that it becomes a more physical thing than mental (yes, that is you clark, again – but hasn’t it always been you Ray, I mean clark)?
