thinker

When you think too much, does it mean that you are a thinker?  By wiki, the term refers to an intellectual – the one who tries to use his or her intellect to work, study, reflect, speculate on, or ask and answer questions with regard to a variety of different ideas.

So it is not only quantity but quality counts.

On the other hand, I suppose, nobody is born or made as a thinker.  You doubt, you ask why, you try to find the answers, and you need patience and diligence to be a thinker.

I am not yet a thinker.  Do I want to be one?

I doubt, I ask why, I think of the answers and I need patience and diligence to be a thinker.

    Some people are forever thinking and not going anywhere, even some intellectuals that think with their head/minds, and not their hearts.

    What would Rodin’s thinker say?

      It’s so true that thinking alone won’t get you anywhere. But I still had no idea what Rodin’s thinker would say.
