Mind n Matter
Take a piece of wood. Try to stretch it. Apply as much force as you can muster, still, you can't. It might crack, it might break, but you can’t stretch it.
Take a piece of rubber. Stretch it. It’s easy. Apply more force, you can stretch it further. Keep increasing the force and finally it will break.
A Mind made up of wood. A Mind made up of rubber.
Wood - not flexible. Rubber - flexible. But wood never misleads you by getting stretched for a while before giving away to pressure. It denies; but it is consistent with its choice!

Just when I knew all of life's answers, they changed the questions.

Hey there is one more analogy, that of camels and horses from Alchemist.
If you are comparing two kinds of ppl, here are my 0.02. Dont u think you are biased towards wood, rubber being more flexible can be used at more number of places. Also rubber lasts more than wood as a unit _because_ its flexible. And do you really think wood will last in today's fast changing world? Though wood may be consistent with choice that does not mean rubber is not, rubber may try to accomodate various choices, leaving most satisfied.
