Thinking: A Neglected Art (2)
Several years ago a college administrator told me that if he wanted to do any serious thinking, he had to get up at 5:30 in the morning—I suppose because that was the only time when no one would interrupt him, wholesale replica designer handbags. More recently I heard a professor remark that when his friends catch him in the act of reading a book, they say, “My, it must be nice to have so much free time.” And even though I am an English teacher –a person who should know better—I find myself felling vaguely guilty whenever I sneak off to the library to read. It is a common belief that if a man is thinking or reading, he is doing nothing. Through our words and our actions, we express this attitude every day of our lives. Then we wonder why our children refuse to take their studies seriously and why they say to their teachers, “Why do I need to learn this stuff? It won’t do me any good; I’ll never need it.”
It’s easy to understand the reasons for this prejudice against thinking. One problem is that to most of us, wholesale designer handbags, thinking looks suspiciously like doing nothing. A human being in deep thought is an uninspiring sight. He leans back in his chair, props up his feet, puffs on his pipe and stares into space. He gives every appearance of wasting time. Besides, he’s leaving all the hard work for us! We wish he would get up and do something useful---clean the house, maybe, or mow the lawn. Our resentment is natural.
But thinking is far different from laziness. Thinking is one of the most productive activities a human being can undertake, wholesale coach handbags. Every beautiful and useful thing we have created exists because somebody took the time and effort to think of it.
