This is 5 am in the morning, the world outside is quite and silent. Allowing my mind to think deeply and clearly. I want to share my experience and importance of original thinking and how it has helped me take decisions in my life.

Human being is a social animal and when we live in such a society, the way society behaves impacts us how we are molded as human being. The values of societies vary, depending upon which country you are born in. Also, in India, the values of societies change depending upon in which state or caste or religion you are born in.

It is important, how the citizens of the country think about their country. If they think like a family where behaviour of one member affects other members in the family that country becomes beautiful and harmonious. This one thought will lead to – less crime, less corruption, more trust, cleanliness and overall better development of society.
Depending upon how strong is this feeling in the citizens of the country that much developed the country becomes.
strong family like feeling among citizens – Developed country
Not so strong family like feeling among citizens – Developing country
No trust among citizens – Poor/third world countries

When you live in poor/ third world/ developing country, the behaviour of society is wrong or irrational many times. If you don’t have original thinking process, you will aslo become part of the wrong deeds or wrong behaviour. This will lead to limiting your growth as a better person and will lead to suffering in the future.
Following are the examples of situations, when original thinking has helped me instead of copying how the society used to behave –

1. What field to chose for studies in your education
2. Whom to chose as friends and maintain relationship
3. Which company to chose for job
4. Whom to chose as life partneer
5. While taking financial decisions like –
   1. Should you buy a house or live on rent
   2. should you buy a house with full down payment or take a loan
   3. should you put your kid in a medium fees school or a costly posh school, etc.
6. How much time should you spend on office work and how much time to spend with family
7. Should you continue job or take up entrepreneurship
8. What values do you want to inculcate in your child
9. How to peacefully resolve the conflicts in married life or relationships

Original or Rational thinking gives you clarity of thought when you are in dilemma or confusion or conflict. Thinking without bias helps you to see the situation clearly and take correct decision. The long term benefit is that, taking the right decision becomes part of your personality and you grow as a person. Thinking with clarity allows you to use your potential to the fullest and you feel fulfilled and content with your life. Best wishes for the beautiful life ahead!!
