“Thinking isn't agreeing or disagreeing. That's voting.”
— Robert Frost
Simplified Meaning:
When you think about something, you're not just saying yes or no to it, like you would when voting. Thinking is more about taking your time to really understand a situation from different angles. Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle. If you just say which piece you like the best, you won't solve the puzzle. You need to examine how each piece fits with the others. This same approach works in life; for example, if you're tackling a problem at work, don't just decide quickly if an idea is good or bad. Think about possible solutions, understand the reasons behind them, and consider various outcomes. This careful thinking helps you make better decisions rather than just going with a simple yes or no.
