I had read 2 of your discussions topics directly hitting at those people who are fooling around in this site and simply with one word or 2 words trying to increase their rating. After that in the evening when earning are announced, it these people who said that I got very less for so many posts I have made. In fact before your announcement, I had implemented the plan of giving these people [-]. I did not use the abuse (!).
I think in couple of days, these people will understand that unless they apply their mind and write properly they will not get anything.
Thanks for your initiative.

Excellent thought, and I did have to think awhile on that saying. Scientist seem to discuss science and experiments to creat better medicines, so yes I believe that. I fall into the average plus small minds section, because in discussing events, people have to be involved. There would be no events without people. Actually, I think an average mind discusses all three. Good thought provoking discussion!!

Yes it is very true. Forutnately I was very lucky to be working with a scientist for few months. I learned a lot but above all I learned how important is time and how important is patience. First of all he used to remain silent unless he needs to talk to me on something very important. This matches with your "Great Mind" concept. I am among the second lot. Average mind - I try to analyze events and discuss here. I think I will choose to remain silent on third one because we all know how harmful they can be. But all three statements are correct. Good discussion.

This is only a saying and not my concluding remarks. This is meaning to say:
GREAT MEN DISCUSS IDEAS: Great people be it scientists, administrators, businessmen, they always think of great ideas and they discuss about newer ideas, novel ideas.
AVERAGE PERSONS DISCUSS EVENTS: Average humans think about events happening elsewhere in the town, country, world.
THE THIRD CATEGORY people discuss (waste time) discussing about other people.

WELL, all of us have those minds in some point in our time.Why? In the different stages of life; sometimes you have great minds, then sometimes you have average minds and a little bit of small minds.OH,c'mon! let's not fool ourselves, we have those 3 kinds of minds,agree or disagree? Let me think about it?

See my dear what is posted as discussion topic is a saying. I fully agree with your view and there is every possibility of a person having all 3 at a time or passed one after the other in different order.
Your response is really interesting and thank you for the same.

Well said, ssh123 !!! You've come out with a clever quote. Can I know the source? It's good.
I am acclaiming this discussion as a bugle to all sensible people! (see image).

In September, most of discussions topics of mine were typed in CAPITAL LETTERS. One day I read in mylot guidelines that points will be reduced if the topics are in caps. Immediately I stopped using caps and switched over to normal Upper and lower case typing. Wherever I saw the discussions posted by other which had capital letters, I went on informing them about the above fact. I do not know whether they corrected it or not, my sincere feeling is they should not loose money. After all they also put the efforts. Thanks for your nice words. Have you finished your exams? When are you going to post 10 discussions a day?

Boss, please do not write 2 words or 3 words response not even 1 line or 1 sentence. Please read the mylot guidelines and these kinds of answers will not be considered for points and earnings. Be descriptive as far as possible. This is only my suggestion. Please do not feel offended. I am only saying it for your sake.
Thanks for your brief response.

That is a great saying. Do you know who said it? It reminded me of "If you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything at all" or "Think before you speak". We have all been at all of those places...#3gossip, #2talking just to have something to do or to pass the time, and #1 actually putting some thought into what you're going to say when you say it and talking about something worthwhile...a laudable goal!

Thanks for very good response to my discussion topic. I do not know who said these great statements,but I had it from the book authored by my father-in-law (book on snake charmers and other short stories). Your explanation to the above statements are really informative and interesting.

GREAT MINDS DISCUSS IDEAS
AVERAGE MINDS DISCUSS EVENTS
SMALL MINDS DISCUSS PEOPLE
Of course this is just a simple saying in part it is true if all you have to talk about is to bad mouth people that would indeed be a simple mind .Of course people tend to talk about all three things .I mean not all the time you "talk about people" is it in the context of this quote .I think great minds do try to help people and some times that involves talking about them with others but in a construcktive format . Simple sweet qoutes are never meant to be lived by just saw for thier simple wisdom .

what we think and what we talk also depends on our
1.age
2.situation
3.company with which we r while speaking
4.context
5.circumstances
So the saying quoted here is not always true......but its a good saying....if it is considered just as a saying and not the rule of life!
