Can one truly test the capability, limits or the extent in
which they can think? What would be a person’s nature if they practiced
thinking above and beyond that of the average mind? What would society be like
if everyone tried thinking beyond their natural comfort or capabilities? Perhaps
I should further explain what it means to surpass the capabilities of one’s own
thinking.
Imagine a person going to school for the first time. They more than likely have their backpack stuffed with textbooks, supplies, a lunch, and anything that can be of relevance. Now imagine another person in the same situation who thinks above and beyond. Imagine if this individual going to school for the first time with the notion of being over prepared: such as practicing their verbal communication skills and knowing what to say and how to say it, knowing what to do before a specific situation happens, understanding the psychology of those associated to their environment, how the school and educational system functions, how culture and traditions effects their environment, and knowing what the environment is looking for in an exceptional student and using that to question logic or the school’s systemic values , and how to collect resources that could be useful, resourceful or of interest to the student. Using this as an example, it seems such a way to think would be over exaggerated; however, thinking above and beyond that of the regular student, the student that thinks greatly will more than likely utilize their resources and use it to their advantage or for achievement.

Another example can be a person going on a date. Instead of perhaps
winging it, maybe like the average person would, imagine if this individual
took dancing lessons, read books on seduction, practiced tasteful jokes, tried
to research and understand what the opposite gender likes, utilized the opportunities
of where and how he could be a gentleman, talked to other individual in
relation to the person they would be dating to know their interests, understand
psychology of how the other will react to certain behaviors, how he or she
should know and understand themselves, and utilize methods of maintaining a positive
image, charisma and ego, even when things don’t go their way. I would imagine dates
would be more exciting and the nation would be plentiful with functional and
long lasting marriages.
