Good idea to become 'great' ..................i'll also try 'paracetamol' to become so.

I was just kidding. 'Great' ban'ney ke liye CSS pass kerna zaroori hai .... by the way.

Anyway type of thinkers is a very wide issue. The famous saying which you quoted does depict a general pattern of thinking of different types of people. But I do not think that it has anything to do with 'greatness'.

Robert Braffalt, an English Anthropologist, says that many 'thinkers' go after stupid and un-necessary details of 'particular' things. While others take interest in broad and general realities of self, humanity and the Universe as a whole.

In my personal opinion, I classify even most of 'Phds' in first category of 'thinkers'.

I also consider 1st type of 'thinkers' as 'koyein ke mandak' who just remain unfamiliar to the freshness of the broad and general realities of life and universe.

In University, our new teacher of English often advised us "think about the things".

I had to make presentation for his class and I made presentation on the topic of "How Do We Think". And I really presented my own theory of "how do we think". I presented: from where ideas come to mind, how one idea is preceded by other ideas and so on.

I was thinking about 'ideas' but I am not great at all. I am different however but only in this sense that I think about very different things.

You can search the Net, I am sure you will not find anywhere: from where ideas come to mind, how one idea is preceded by any other etc. etc.

Great hony ke liye haath mein power aur authority honi chahiye ..... bas.

thanks!

I typed a detailed reply twice and both the times I was about to click ‘submit reply’ when there was power breakdown, so this time I’m keeping the length of the post very brief.
I think that CSS is not the only variable on the basis of which we can determine the level of ‘Greatness’. Actually it is a multi dimensional measurement which includes some internal and external factors, i.e. One’s thinking and behaviour, his social interaction, his potential abilities, ability to understand etc. and CSS is only one factor( one’s potential ), so a person who has qualified only CSS can’t be classified as ‘great’, he must have to fulfill the requirements of other factors.

I must say, ‘You are a REAL philosopher.” I’ll be content if you post your theory “how do we think” here in the forum.

Secondly I perceive ‘greatness’ as a consequence of ‘meta-cognition’. I’ll appreciate your comment on my perception.

This shows that you are full of determinations. Can do anything despite initial failure that you might have to face.

I was not talking of CSS in particular. I just used it to symbolize 'power and authority'. I also agree to your points. In the case of Socrates, the members of Jury who decided Capital punishment for him, were all 'powerful' and 'authorized' persons. But great person was obviously Socrates. Dr. Abdul Salam, the only Pakistani Nobel prize winner, once was talking to the chairman of planning commission. Dr. Salam asked that chairman that govt. should seek advice from scientists also for such decisions like as which relate to the establishment of scientific nature industry in the country.

That chairman was 'powerful' and 'authorized' person. So he proudfully replied that he did not like to take advice of his 'khansama' in the matters of how to run the affairs of home".

By that time, Dr. Salam had not yet won the nobel prize. But time has shown which one of these two persons was a great person.

'Power and authority' however is a 'visible' thing. People usually salute to visible things. Invisible things may remain invisible for the whole life of any 'great' person who possess them. Work of Copernicus was published after his death. Now it is really difficult to say whether he was a great person or not. We all know about the hereditary laws of Mandal. Mandal’s work however could not get any popularity in his own life. In fact, his work was rejected by the contemporary scientific community. Was he a great person really? After all his work was ‘inaccurate’ as per the unanimous decision of the scientific community of his own time. His work got the attention of scientific community after about 100 years of his death. Spinoza was hated by his own community. His community exiled him of the community. Spinoza’s memorial statues were built in many countries after about two hundred years of his death. Weggener proposed the theory of ‘Continental Drift’. That theory was rejected by his contemporaries. This theory got first important significant supporting proof after about 50 years of its inception when Geologist first conceived the idea of ‘plate tectonics’. Was Weggener a great person? Recently a person has been awarded Nobel prize. Actually scientists now have found some significant proof of something which that person had proposed some 30 years before. For the last 30 years, that person had not been a ‘great’ person.

“how do we think” is not any big or core portion of my overall work. But it is interconnected with the rest of my work. I want to publish whole of my work in the form of multiple volume book. First volume should be of at least 1000 pages. It would be possible however jab exams se jaan choote gi. I can post some related fragments of this topic in my next post. It may not however be fully comprehensible because it is interconnected with the rest of my work.

‘Meta-Cognition’ is really a high level of abstraction but all forms of meta-cognition may not lead to greatness. A good abstraction is one which should successfully account for the material occurrences also. If someone really conceives such kind of abstraction, that person must be a great person then.

‘Meta-Cognition’ is highest ability of human mind and only great people would achieve this highest point. So my vote goes in support of your perception. I also thank you for sharing it with us.
