The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. -- Dr. Linus Pauling

Why am I reading so much? I feel as though I am filling my head with tons of related and unrelated facts. Will these facts gel, then percolate to the surface as conclusions? Armed with conclusions, will I then have something to say? Are conclusions the same as ideas?

Before my accident, I always had lots of ideas and thoughts about how to improve "things" or to solve client problems. These thoughts just rolled around in my head, independent of circumstance. Now, my thought process appears completely reactive. Unless questioned directly, my mind produces no reflection (that I remember). Yet, when a question is asked, my mind spins a myriad of of possible answers. I am often surprised at what comes out of my mouth. Sometimes, I start talking without (it seems) engaging my conscious thought process.
