Journal 35: By Writing We think

           According to the quotation by Henri Frederic Amiel, I believe he wanted to convey the message that everything has been done for a reason, and everyone is responsible for it. For instance, “by teaching that we teach ourselves”, I think this means that when we are teaching others, we also learn new thing during the process of teaching. Another example is “by writing that we think”; therefore, this example is similar to the previous journals we written before. This means when we are doing the think; meanwhile, we are also doing the writing. Thus, the thinking thought and the writing action are basically processing in the same time. However, can they be done separately? I do not believe that they can be done separately. The reason is that if a person does not have the thought in the beginning, how can he/she complete his work by writing on a paper or typing on a laptop. On the other hand, if a person wanted to finish the writing first. Yet, it is impossible for this person to complete the work without the think process. In fact, I even believe that these two exist because they support each other. Our thoughts need to record down in order to be complete. In contrast, our writings need thoughts to motivate.
