Can be considered more like a fun + intellect debate game where we have to debate in only one sentence that is not more then 50 words.

Debate Topic :

Do you agree, Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking ? Yes / No, Why? ( by - Albert Einstein )

Er,did Einstein sahab say that 🤔 ( I request that these words not be counted into my quoto of 50😆 )

No, it doesn't..In fact reading at any age contributes to opening our mind into new horizons...Say I stopped reading at the age of twenty, I would have never know what Robert Kiyosaky had to say in 'Rich dad and poor dad' and that would have largely impacted my life in a negative way..

Another line of thought:

The creative pursuits of man are not hampered by excessive reading, but they largely depend on what s/he is reading in the first place..Reading M&B kind of books don't contribute to any creativity, rather they put one on a lazy track of day dreaming... 😆

long sentence-
I disagree with Einstein because reading more and reading the same things again at different stages of life make you realize a thousand interpretations of what was written and every interpretation is vividly imaginative and intellectually stimulating.


small sentence-
will edit later 😉 - not feeling so smart right now

Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count. AE was a master of mental calisthenics and hence stumbled upon the relativity formula . Responding to him in yes and no is like saying A=YN2( squared) where A is answer (energy) Y (mass )and N(velocity) yes and no respectively..😆

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.-Albert Einstein

Rest of Taran ji's post is mystery like Einstein's Concepts😕!!!

I agree with the quote of Einstein !

I quote his other quotes:

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Therfore reading more ...................... kills the creativity!!But if the person is like me who does'nt know anything and if she follows the quote of Einstein and does'nt read anything for the fear of killing creativity,then she will be left without any real or artificial knowledge😆!!!

Ok ! Being serious!Reading others things is not challenging,understanding our thoughts and ideas is the toughest and most challenging task!

Wishes,

Mythili

I agree..
Subconsciously filling your mind with the others' opinion stems your own creativity- when asked to think about something new my first reaction often is a google search! 😃
