We all know that thinking is an important part of what we do each day. But much of this is passive thinking.
Dr. Harry Carter, United States expert in one of his feature story asked a rhetorical question; "How many of you have minds that are closed, locked and shuttered, much like a home on the outer banks of North Carolina when a hurricane is approaching? I noted that this was a rhetorical question because if your mind is closed, you will be unable to interpret my words and frame a reasonable response."
Thinking is not a simple, random practice. You need to be able to utilize such tools as logic, either the formal type, or as is frequently the case, a more informal style of thinking (informal but organized).
In order to do this properly, you need to be trained to employ such broad intellectual skills as clarity, credibility, accuracy, precision, depth and fairness.
Thinking is good. NOT thinking is bad. And most importantly, thinking is not optional. One would suppose that these concepts are widely known and well-shared.
Unfortunately, as I watch the world around me, I am beginning to come to the conclusion that in many circles, thinking is an action that is frowned upon and discouraged
Those who fail to think often end up thinking about failure.
