Analyze this quote “Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.” --F. Scott Fitzgerald
Thinking is a powerful weapon. Positive thinking can help lead you to success, while negative thoughts can ultimately doom you to failure.
One must be able to think for themselves or they will never be able to form their own values and beliefs. I believe that the power of thinking has lead me to form solid foundations of what I believe is right and wrong. Whether in political, social, financial, or other terms the thinking I emulate is that which I have formed on my own as best as I could.
I consider myself well read. I read all the time from newspapers to websites to magazines. I think about who is writing, what they are writing about, and most importantly why. Finding a writer who has truly independent beliefs is difficult. Frankly, I cannot name one off the top of my head. It is crucial in society to not read anything at face value, but to critically think about what is being stated and determining why you think it is being stated. This makes reading much more enjoyable and rewarding to me.
