I Think Therefore I Am . . . What?

It was Rene Descartes that said "I think therefore I am", but what is it that I am or you are. It is what you think, and what you think chooses how hard a task is to accomplish. Do you give up or fight? Your decision to accept or reject something is based on what you think of it. I meet many people that choose not to look into something because they believe it will be to hard to accomplish or learn. If I thought that everything new that I came in contact with was going to be a long drawn out learning experience just to accomplish the simplest thing, than I surely wouldn't learn much. I would stay with what I currently knew and would not bother with new information.

When I hear about something new or someone tells me that they can do something I can't, than what do I do? Do I not even look into it because it has words that sound complicated like quantum physics. No. That would be absurd. Knowledge seems to be the only power that one can keep and use. Burt force will only last so long, but gaining knowledge to counter that force will surly victor. Next time you're told of something new and before you decide that it's to complicated to learn or understand apply Occam's Razor. Look for the simplest answer or reason for what you have learned. If you have to think to learn why not think of a simple answer to the question. Otherwise next time you are confronted with something new you might think to much therefore you are not. Have a great day, Aaron.
