Thinkers Wanted
Posted on | February 27, 2009 | 2 Comments
Innovation requires people to think! However thinking is one of the practices that seems to be lacking in so many ways in this world today.
People hear, but they don’t really listen. When someone who makes movies for a living, or is a famous sports figure, or a funny stand-up comic says something about life, politics, business, or how the world should work, many people accept their position without any thought. But, when thinking people express a view contrary to the common thought, they are laughed at and even considered mentally imbalanced.
Thomas Jefferson said that America would remain free as long as it remained educated, but that when it ceased to be educated it would cease to be free. Real education makes people into thinkers and thinkers are the real driving force for a free society.
I am looking to associate with real thinkers. I will not always agree with your thoughts and you will not always agree with mine, but real thinkers are still who I want to meet. Will you join me? Will you make my day and ask questions that I cannot answer? Will you stir my imagination and make me think?
If you will let’s get the part started! I will do my best to consider any question, but I will not argue just for the sake of arguing.
Let’s have fun ….

LaShelle – you may not be able to think for others, but if you have unique and/or innovative thoughts, you could get paid for thinking for yourself. Building a successful business on or offline requires innovative thinkers. Even with a one and two year old you can still find time to think!
