I think therefore I am.

Using your mind it's always a good idea, but today we are going to focus on etymology. "To Think"in Italian is"Pensare" from Latin .."Pensare".


If this sounds familiar it is because the English language utilizes words like "Pensive" and the adverb "Pensively".


There are a plethora of thinkers I could refer to (including Rene Descartes) but I chose to quote Joe Strummer of The Clash who said something along the lines of "Thinking is always a good reason to wake up in the morning".


That's it for today, don't forget to rock, roll and cogitate..!


Pier.
