TOL - Thinking Out Loud

TOL - Thinking Out Loud

Hello Forum-Mates,

We all know that LOL means "Laughing Out Loud" in Forum-Speak, but if you are not aware of what TOL means then, we want to let you know it means "Thinking Out Loud" which is something we both do quite frequently in our lives.

It actually is a great way to inspire and to be inspired.

What we mean by that is that when you actually "Say Your Thoughts Out Loud" (whether anyone else is around to hear you or not, should never be an issue, because there have been studies that prove that people who talk out loud to themselves are usually above average in intelligence), you will HEAR it differently then when you just "Think Your Thoughts Silently To Yourself" because by hearing your thoughts out loud, they enter a different part of your brain, whereby it is processed in a much more productive and memorable way.

So, with that in mind, we can often be heard saying to one another (or to ourselves) ... TOL (blah, blah, blah ...) < LOL >

That brings us to the reason for this post ...

Keep in mind that we are just TOL, so it doesn't have to mean anything or it could mean everything. It is just a thought.

I have know about TOL for years but have failed to use it.

Why you may ask or you may already know the answer.

I just feel embarrassed to Think Out Loud. But...

As of today I make a promise to both of you that I will do my best to
TOL.

Thank you for your inspiring post.

I was a little surprise that your post was so short.

Short but like an arrow.

You know, I find me talking myself through complicating programming. I've heard it said that it's ok to talk to yourself as long as you don't answer.

Sometimes I answer too!

I think that if you answer yourself in a different voice it is okay.
