The Art of Thinking

The highest intelligence is neither aptitude nor skills. It is simply the will and the actions to live a good life.

You ask: What determines a good life in a constantly changing world where even the good and the bad are relative to time, place, culture . . . also creed, convention, contention, compliance, control, communication . . . even CIRCUMSTANCE!?


Thought. Thinking. Reasoning.


To think is to separate facts from assumptions to better opine on the world and to better predict the world to come.


Objective thinking elevates one in life, in love, in work, in parenting, in leadership, in times good and bad.


To think is to undertake voyages to the lands of logic, language, ethics, religion, science, anthropology, jurisprudence, politics, economics, mathematics, indeed to all areas of knowledge.


There is but only one prerequisite to thinking. It is the simple desire to know the answers to your own questions.
