One of the oddest progressions of life is when someone is
growing up. All those memories of failures which you hope could be
thrown into the garbage can like a piece of paper and all those
memories of successes which you hope could be saved on a computer like
a piece of hard disk turns into endless thoughts similar to that of a
math problem which the equation contains the variable infinity.
I am
more of a thinker than accomplisher. Due to this problem it usually
takes me longer to do my homework than the other kids. I remember in
elementary school my fifth grade teacher used to say, "If you think
while you write everything would be easier for you." Such as for this
personal statement that I am doing right this moment can transform into
a paper of endless ideas and opinions which consists the final point of
expression of oneself.
For example, in this world the expression of a
human being is critical to the survival of one^Òs success. The way you
addresses a older person; the way you addresses your friend; the way
you write on a important essay such as this one; the way you work with
someone; it all comes down to how the other person sees you as a human
being.
As for this fact, people usually need to hide their inner
feelings somewhere inside the psyche which is ironic in the ways of
expressing by unexpressing. During sometime of the 17 years that I have
lived so far and maybe just a split second during those 6,205 days I
would start wondering how did Christopher Columbus communicate with the
Indians when he reached the New World where the form of expression
could be crucial to their lives. What if the Indians didn't like them?
Columbus and his men would either starve to death; freeze to death; or
be murdered.
Moreover, isn't it ironic that the people whom first
reached the New World and helped Columbus and his men to survive are
now living in concentration camps? Thinking too much sometimes can be a
good thing other than getting in the way of my work. Thinking is a tool
for reasoning which logic c omes into play in the game of life. It can
be explained as simple as in school when some childish classmate
squirts water onto your favorite T-shirt. At that moment you can choose
a few options to resolve this problem and each with its own
consequences.
Option 1: you can go up to your classmate and try to
start something, probably causing eachother severe injuries, and the
next thing you know you would be sitting in the principle's office
facing suspension or expulsion.
Option 2: you can sit in your place be
calm and not bother with your immature classmate.
If you ask me I would
probably choose option 2. I think anyone would choose option 2 if they
thought about it, but sometimes anger overrides your chain of thoughts
which could cause wrong decisions to be made. Thinking is useful in
solving problems as it is in entertainment. Usually great entertainers
are excellent thinkers.
Telling a joke isn't as effortless as it looks
like. It takes a rapid thinker to tell a perfect joke. The time, place,
and people are three subjects which a good sense of humor is to be
developed from. Say the equitable kind of joke to the equitable kind of
people. Catch the suitable time to say it at the suitable place which
only allows you less than half a second to think and say it.
I love to
think about everything but because of this I am a greater man than I
used to be. Similar to what Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Beware when the
great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at
risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city,
and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end."
