As the saying goes, 360 lines, each line is the best. Do what you like. Then I like to learn all kinds of knowledge, such as philosophy, religion, psychology,

Books, lectures, etc. But few people can make a lot of money as thinkers.

First, the basic definition of thinkers (who is a thinker? )

1, Discrimination of Meaning

In China, people often distinguish between thinkers and scientists; One of the reasons is that there are too many thinkers and too few scientists since ancient times. Thinkers generally refer to philosophers and social scientists. May 4th please "democracy" (transliteration is Demokrasi) and "Mr. Sai" (science, transliteration is Sains). Scientists are great in people's minds. Many children and teenagers' initial ideal is to become scientists, not thinkers.

In foreign countries, outstanding scientists are often listed as great thinkers. At the end of the 20th century, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) held an online selection of "Millennium Thinkers" around the world.

Thought is the result of thinking. Thinking is the process of rational cognition, and thinking is rational cognition. Normal people have their own ideas. Ideas communicate through language. Einstein (or Bernard Shaw) said: You have an apple and I have an apple. Let's exchange, and everyone is still an apple. You have an idea, I have an idea; Let's exchange views. How many ideas does everyone have?

Everyone has an idea and everyone can be a thinker. But not everyone can be a thinker. You can only be famous if you have achievements, and you can only get married if you are famous.

2. Concept definition

Thinkers are people who have original opinions, have extensive influence and promote social progress.

Thinkers should create a "family statement", but it is not necessary to form a complete system. Among famous thinkers at home and abroad, it is rare to build a complete and rigorous theoretical system.

See the definition of Modern Chinese Dictionary:

A thinker is a person who has unique views on objective reality and can form his own system.

Second, the road to success for thinkers (how to become a thinker? )

1. Have a lofty sense of mission.

Zhang Zai (1020- 1077, thick) was a philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Born in Chang 'an (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province), his ancestral home was Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), and he later lived in Hengqu (now Hengqu Town, Meixian County, Shaanxi Province). His famous saying spread the "four sentences of horizontal canal" widely: for the world, for the people, for the past, for the future, and for the peace of the world.

In modern language, "keeping a heart of heaven and earth" means that "scholars should recognize the essence and laws of the objective world (heaven and earth) with spiritual strength (heart) and establish a solid rational foundation for people to transform the objective world."

In modern language, "making a living for the people" means "scholars should care about the fate of the people, reflect their voices, eliminate their suffering and enhance their well-being."

In modern language, "making the past serve the present" means that "scholars should critically inherit the academic achievements of predecessors, create new scientific theories, and continue human civilization through propaganda, education and popularization."

In modern language, "peace for the world" means "a scholar should have lofty social ideals, safeguard the positive and progressive factors in society, attack the negative and backward things in society, and point out the bright road to a better future."

2. Have valuable original opinions.

Wang Guowei was a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He used ancient poems to express three academic realms of human thorns.

The first level is "the autumn wind withered the green trees last night." A person in a tall building, watching the end of the world. "(Yan Shu's" Recent Flowers ")

Angie wrote in "On Expressing People's Emotions": "The real poet is such a person: in the land of life, he stands taller than the average person and looks wider than the average person; He can tell us something we want to see but can't see, something we see but don't feel, something we feel but don't understand, something we understand but don't breathe deeply into our hearts. A real poet can let a short-sighted person see the weeds thousands of miles flat; Let people who sit in the well and watch the sky want to see the vast sky; Raise the head of the prone person; Let the recluse go to the vast world. " This passage is full of poetry and philosophy. It is also appropriate to replace "poet" with "thinker". A real thinker should be such a person.

3. Have the spirit of unremitting exploration.

The second realm of Wang Guowei's three realms of scholarship is "clothes are getting wider and wider, and I will never regret it, which makes people haggard for Iraq." (Liu Yong's "Dead Hua Lian")

Thought comes from thinking, and thinking is accompanied by poverty. It is better to write half a sentence than to sit on the bench for ten years.

4. A systematic way of thinking.

The third realm of Wang Guowei's three realms of scholarship is "looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, people are in the dim light." (Xin Qiji's Jade Case Yuan Xi)

This is the realm of inspiration, thinking about the Millennium, seeing through Wan Li and achieving success.

To be a thinker, we must master a variety of thinking methods, including logical methods and illogical methods (imagination, intuition and inspiration).

Look at Edison's famous saying: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat." "But 1% inspiration is the most important thing, even more important than 99% sweat."

5. There must be effective communication methods.

Marx's famous saying is engraved on the Marx Monument at Highgate Cemetery in London: "Philosophers only explain the world in different ways, but the problem is to change the world." MNX 1- 19

Academically, "success" does not mean "fame". Ideas need to be spread, and papers and manuscripts need to be published.

If you want to be a thinker, you must use all kinds of media to publish and spread your thoughts. Nowadays, the Internet has opened up new channels for some young people who want to become thinkers through their academic career. However, according to the existing academic evaluation system, publishing papers in newspapers and periodicals is the "right way"!
