Thinking is an activity that all humans do. René Descartes coined the iconic phrase “cogito, ergo sum,” which translates to “I think, therefore I am,” when searching for a single, undoubtable phrase. Since he was thinking, René Descartes could not doubt that he existed. Thinking is an important step to do before speaking or acting. Speaking or acting without thinking can have undesirable consequences.
