Learning to think first rather than react quick is a life long pursuit. It’s tough. I still get hot sometimes when I shouldn’t. But I’m really enjoying all the benefits of getting better.1
This is something that I need to think about. I can sometimes argue against a point made by someone else without thoroughly thinking about what that someone meant. Even if you ultimately still disagree, thinking through the other persons argument and points makes your counter-argument so much stronger.
