Yesterday I met my old friend and classmate who is an SM2 student in NUS. As it has been several months since I saw him we went to McDonald to have dinner together. During the dinner we talked for a long time. We talked a lot of things including how we are going recently, which course we have chosen and our plans about our future. After the talking I realized that he had improved a lot. His thoughts became deeper than before.
Last night when I was lying on the bed I tried to found out what made him improve so much. After a while I realized that maybe it was the people he met who pulled his thoughts forward. As he has been in Singapore for more than one year, he has met many people here and some of them are great people who have many great thoughts. As he talked with them he could learn from them and achieve the thoughts. After learning and judging those ideas by himself whether the thoughts were right or wrong he accept the good ones he thought. In this way the great ideas permeate into his mind and were assimilated by him so that he has his own great thoughts.
In fact I think it is a good way to develop our thoughts by learning from others especially those who are great for they all have their own great thoughts which make them succeed. After we get a thought we judge whether it is right or wrong and if it is right we can accept it. After we have accepted many great thoughts our views will become wider and our thought will become deeper. Someone may say that if we learn ideas from others we are not ourselves however I will say that we have the right to learn from others. Furthermore though some of the ideas are others’ it is we who have the unique idea which includes all the great ideas.
