Kota - Thinkers

By chance, I had the opportunity to read these and other books. Then I learned about different ideas. It is the nature of this world that views, values, and attitudes change. But I don’t know if they don’t change naturally. I have also heard that people change only after death. Some change, but some don’t. Some people’s views are different from others. As in the poem by my favorite brother, “Some are thin, some are fat, some are thin, some are thin, some are dark, some are dark, some are white, some are red, some are blue.” I know that differences are the Dhamma. Therefore, when I read (or share) the books I read, there will be people who like them or who don’t like them, who agree with them or who disagree with them. I just want to tell you what I read, and I hope that you will think about it.

I admit that these are just the views of the person looking through the window. I don't know what I mean, I'm not a specialist in depth, in-depth, or in-depth. However, I thought it would be good to tell you what I know. I will also mention the names of the books I have cited so that those who want to know more can read them.

Many of us are interested in politics, religion, history, literature, etc. Therefore, some of the names I have presented may be well-known elsewhere, but they will remain unknown in Golden Myanmar. Golden Myanmar is lagging behind. Like many, I am also annoyed by lagging behind. The topics I am writing about were discussed at a teahouse in one of the courtyards of the Hmong Village Hospital a few years ago. One of my teachers advised me to cultivate a healthy mind and a heart that is easy to understand. One of my younger teachers criticized me and said, “Brother... were you born in the wrong place, were you born in the wrong time?” Tin Maung Than said, “They will be interested in ideology. We have to do this. We will not say that we have not reached our goal or that we have not reached it yet.”

If you ask what the future is, you can answer that it is something that has invaded the present.

Break the air, come here.

The carpenter is a carpenter, the carver is a carver.

The way the future approaches, steps, and enters the present is something you can't even stand still. Toffler also uses the analogy of a wave. It's similar to an earthquake. It's not like a hurricane. It shakes like an earthquake. A hurricane shakes only the surface, an earthquake shakes the very foundation. What do we do? Even if we know what we should know, it's better to compare it with what we don't know. Therefore, I will introduce the ideas and concepts of great thinkers such as Toffler, Drucker, Charles Handyman, Andrew Grove, and Covey. I will try to continue to present them. If you criticize that your window is too narrow, I can only say that my view is this.

The title of this book is “Thinkers.” Tin Maung Than suggested that it would be better to call it “People Who Don’t Run.” It seems that the wise think, and think, and think, and think, and think, and think. In fact, wise people are those who influence people through their thoughts. Howard Gardner called those who can influence people’s thoughts, actions, and feelings while sitting in their own rooms “indirect leaders.” Alexander, Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, and others are “direct leaders.” Einstein, who was alone in a small room at Princeton University searching for the nature of matter, should be included in the list of indirect leaders.

The people mentioned in this book are real people. In my opinion, their thoughts are illuminated by words. Are some dim, some not, dim or bright, nothing to do with me? Whether it is relevant to me or not, bright or dim, is up to the reader to decide.
