Thinking
Think about it!

The greatest minds are the ones that think beyond the books, beyond the lines laid out for them, beyond the rules and regulations, beyond what everyone else says.

The greatest and most powerful people have stood up to trial, to the terrors of not being liked, to the criticism of maybe being wrong. Yet they overcame and succeeded. Isn't it strange how we, as people, our own and most powerful computer systems, who are able to process anything, choose to agree with another, even if they seem to be wrong?

The great ones, the ones who prove every side of everything, are the ones that prevail, and the ones that eventually become our leaders. It seems to me that I want to become one of these people, and yet, do I try?

And one of the most disagreeable sayings would have to be, "Act your age." But what is my age? Is it really how old I am, or how old I choose to act or how old I choose to think? If I am a 15 year old, and I think like a professor, what is my age? Or is that just another step to greatness?

On Whyville, people don't need to act their "age". This is a place where you can learn, no matter your age, and yet anywhere else you are ridiculed for this. We are on the verge of greatness, as we act how we wish to learn.

Thinking is such a powerful message. You can unlock the secrets to anything with just one thought. And yet, some people don't. Greatness is just around the corner, as long as you are there to help others with your thoughts.

But I don't think you understand my own thoughts. Just read this over carefully a number of times, and unlock the secrets within. There are many things that the mind can overlook the first, second, and maybe third times that things are read, but we can process them and learn.
