A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor
Victor Hugo
We can choose between two ways to challenge a problem – physically and intellectually. If you choose to challenge someone physically, you fight and win through your bodily strength. The stronger you are physically, the more you succeed.
This is the only way how animals win. When there is a fight between two animals, the stronger will have its way!
But we, the human beings, alone have the ability to become intellectually daring and challenging when faced with problems. We solved all our problems through our ability to think and not only in our ability to act.
When time was inadequate to do all we wanted to do, we thought and came with new technology to speed up our work. This is how we met the challenge of time and distance. This is how we conquered deadly diseases like cancer, malaria etc.
There is a limit for using the physical strength. But our mind power has no limitation.
We visit gym and exercise to become physically stronger. But we rarely invest to enhance our mental power. One way is to think!
Every day, stop working and spend at least one hour for thinking!
What are you waiting for? Stop reading and think now!
