A Thinker Essay, Research Paper

One of the oddest progression of life is probably 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 c omputer 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 t han 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^?s 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 ph syce which is ironic in

the ways of expressing by unexpressing. During sometime of the17 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 peo ple 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. O ption 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 conflagr ation has broken out in a great

city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end.”
