Thinking is the ability to explore thoughts in your mind and have the ability to see things in different prospective. It can also be a thought which encompasses an “aim-oriented flow of ideas and associations that can lead to a reality-oriented conclusion”. Although thinking is an activity of an existential value for humans, there is no consensus as to how it is defined or understood.
Below are Inspirational quotes of thinking:
1. “Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding”. Ambrose Bierce
2. “Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be”. Joel Osteen
3. “Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom”. Amitabh Bachchan
4. “Sometimes you gotta just chill. You gotta chill your thinking process”. Ghostface Killah
5. “That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains”. Steve Jobs
6. “In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self “. Eckhart Tolle
7. “I think we need to do some deep soul searching about what’s important in our lives and renew our spirit and our spiritual thinking, whether it’s through faith-based religion or just through loving nature or helping your fellow man”. Louie Schwartzberg
8. “I’m kind of a good girl – and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do”. Katy Perry
9. “Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them”. Bernie Siegel
10. “I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old’ Friends’ and ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don’t think anymore” . Mary Roach
11. “If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking”. George S. Patton
12. “I would not say I was not interested in studies – it just wasn’t there in me to pursue academics. I would open a page in the textbook and start thinking about everything under the sun except what was there in the book. I was more into extra-curricular activities and sports like NCC, rifle shooting, aero-modelling, bike racing, etc”. Ajith Kumar
13. “I think, regardless of gender, women and men need to be brave, take chances with their work, and be open to feedback. But I do think ‘politeness’ is an issue that can hinder your work if you aren’t careful. Kindness is important, but being overly polite – thinking you can’t disagree with someone about your own work – be careful about that”. Ellie Kemper
14. “Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man’s happiness really lies in contentment”. Mahatma Gandhi
15. “The focus on just thinking about standardized test scores as being synonymous with achievement for teenagers is ridiculous, right? There are so many things that kids care about, where they excel, where they try hard, where they learn important life lessons, that are not picked up by test scores”. Angela Duckworth
