NIGHT TIME THOUGHTS "... it's more than just missing them I feel empty without them . I feel alone without them. I feel like I'm stuck in a room that's getting smaller and smaller but I can't do anything about it. I can't ask for help. I can't call out to them. I can't.. I don't have them in my life anymore.

The Thought Process of a Genius Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted to be an author. He wrote a couple of decent works and then got caught in a loop. This reviewer is setting it down here, so that he can try breaking out of it and stop crowding out other better-written books. The Conception: 1.

My family never enforced reading for me as strictly as other kids parents did for them, but emphasized

“Arm Yourself!” In his 1947 essay, “Thought,” Louis H. Sullivan offers concepts on how to improve one’s creative thinking process. He suggests that the most highly productive, creative thinking is accomplished better without the use of words, thus promoting the use of more imaginative cogitating.

According to Susanne K. Langer in the essay “Language and Thought,” an essential difference between animals and humans is the way humans think in symbols and signs, instead of just solely relying on signs. Langer suggests that thinking in signs, which is something both humans and animals share in common, is a process that leads us to react instinctively to the physical presence of that sign. Signs are very much a direct cause to a particular effect. It seems that to learn a sign you simply must be

thinking deeper about other things in the world that I never would relate to these experiments if they were not self-inquiry experiments. For example for me one of the in the first experiment proved this very well, the experiment was called the “Thought Experiment: Positive Group Distinctiveness In your Own Life” like I said I never really think about myself that deeply like this experiment required me too, usually when I think about myself I only think of the sallow things like what’s my favourite

Overwhelming thoughts and circumstances can suck that life out of a person. Through a slow but sure process, I now identify myself as a culprit of stress.
