The First Member of School of Thinking China
Posted on January 22nd, 2012 by Michael
Here below is the very first Membership Application we’ve received for School of Thinking China’s English Thinkers. It is from Yvette of Perth, Western Australia. I’m posting it here today to record a small piece of SOT history and with wishes of good fortune for the year of the Dragon. Interesting that this first member of SOTC comes on such an auspicious day–it sets a positive and hopeful outlook for the coming year.
My best wishes to you for 2012 年行大运
Michael

Subject: Membership Application to English ThinkersMichael,
Firstly thank-you for all the SOT resources including the lessons, online books, and e-newsletter.
I would like to considered for an invitation to English Thinkers. This is because;
1. I got a lot of value from the previous SOT lessons and from Software For Your Brain & Wombat Selling.
2. I learnt new things that I could actually apply to my life and I could see how they were helping me to think better.
3. I like how ‘big’ subjects are explained clearly in a way I can understand and I like the pictures which help my understanding.
4. I feel that the information will improve my quality of life.
5. I would like to keep practicing thinking skills and this is a good way to implement that.
6. I feel that I will be able to make more than the fees for the course if I can apply what I learn.
7. It seems like a better investment than the uni course I’m doing which costs a lot more.
8. I might go further in my career.
9. The people around me will benefit.
10. It sounds like fun.I can do online weekly tutorials and daily lessons.
Regards,
Yvette

This certainly is an excellent and well-deserved PR, but it seems to come right from Australia. It would, however, be good if competent Chinese people took a similar initiative. The SOT program will not only help the Chinese learn how to think, and how to think in English. It will also reduce the gap in this respect between China on the one hand, and India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam on the other. Perhaps the Chinese Embassy could give some support to this initiative.
