<p>Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.</p>
<p>We live in a world that values action over thought. The idea of taking time to reflect and think things through is out of favor. Our most popular movies and novels focus on action, not reflection, and our most admired public figures are praised for what they do, not for what they think. While there is something to be said for taking action instinctively and without hesitation, the fact is that people put too much emphasis on action.</p>
<h2>Assignment: Is it a mistake to value action over thought? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</h2>
<p>Here's humble essay. I would like to know if I could reach a 10 with this kind of essay (under real time conditions) There may be some content mistakes (dates...) I heard that it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>In a world where actions prevail over thoughts, ideas that might not be able to become concrete are often overlooked. However, How could we know or decide whether an idea is innovative or promising? Thus many researchers who had tried to innovate became derided in account of ideas which seemed unrealizable. Several examples from history, science and my personal experiences prove that sometimes ideas can be better considered rather than be simply thrown away in the garbage.</p>
<p>Leonard de Vinci was an artist and engineer who exceled in all the fields he had been involved in. He actually had variegated ideas from building airplanes to create sewers in city. However most of his revolutionary ideas were simply ignored because they were considered to be unrealizable. Airplanes, sewers, cars... All these common things today were unconsidered and even mocked. In hindsight all these layouts belonging to L.de Vinci show that overlooking ideas is actually stupid. Who really knows of what will be our world.</p>
<p>Copernic was an astronomer who was a precursor in his time. He was the first to think that world didn't turn around Earth which was a common belief in XVI. However, these claimes caused him hatred from church's members who believed that Earth was the center of the universe. He was thus considered a heretic and was forced to hide from the world until his dying day.</p>
<p>(This example is, of course, completely made up) Another example from my childhood can be an aspect of this statement. I was in class while being asked to answer an math question written on a chalkboard. My answer directly elicited laughter from my classmates and I was scolded by my teacher for behaving badly. However after an hour passed, others in my class didn't get the answer. For my own surprise, my answer previously claimed turned out to be true and I had been actually misled because people didn't hesitate to throw away my idea in the garbage.</p>
<p>(I didn't write a conclusion because I had had no time) </p>
