yep, i was a deep thinker when i was a boy. not a good thing when i should've enjoy my youth.
But, this is where the wisdom comes from, wise Janggut.
Maybe you teacher kept another thing in mind when talking you to stop thinking.
Think when you need to only. We always keep inner dialogue with ourself, we never stop thinking. It is like a running boy, after he reaches river he sits under the tree. But, he doesn't continue to flip/swing his legs as he was while running. The idea is, speak, when you need to, walk when you need to, think when you need to.
