Do you believe a great thinker plays a role in any changes of this modern world? I believe they do but as much as compared to other leaders who act than think.

Thinking and doing aren't necessarily going to be qualities of different people. These days, in fact, people are far more likely than in the past to be both. Some, of course, form major corporations and delegate the doing because of their thinking. Of course they can change the world. Unsure? Examine the incredible life, in both thinking and doing, of Bill Gates.

I believe that a great thinker can change the world. I think that people are able to influence one person and that person can influence another and so on. I think one person can make a major impact on the world. This can be either a positive or negative impact, but an impact nonetheless. I believe that a great thinker could solve some of the world's dilemmas. I also think that a person who is a great thinker should also be a person to take action. If no action is taken, I think it is hard to change the world. So, in conclusion, I think a person who is a great thinker can change the world, but they should also be someone who is willing to take action. Putting their great ideas into action is the key to making the largest change in the modern world.

I agree that thinker will change the world. To get into action first the thinking is most important. Just doing things without thinking will give you opposit effect. Great thinker will definitely can change the world considerably when he starts implementing the things which he thinks right.
