①“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? We can not see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, but they have great power (力量) !

②Isaac Newton was seated in his garden on a summer evening when he saw an apple fall from a tree. He began to think, and tried to find out why the apple fell. Then he found how the earth, sun, moon, and stars are kept in their places.

③James Ferguson once saw the inside of his father’s watch, and he wondered, “Why should I not make a watch?” This made him think and he made a wooden clock which kept good time.

④Walt Disney, the famous American film-maker, was often thinking of new ideas. One day, when he was in a meeting, he suddenly stopped talking, deep in thought. He looked and looked at a place high up in the room. This went on for a long time, and then he got an idea for a new film.

“What’s wrong with you, dear?”asked the woman.

“Nothing,” the old man answered and covered his face with his hands.
