Do you think the meaning of the title is clear?

Absolutely not, Oristar. Please try again. Where are you going, and where have you been? Let's have a little explanation of what you are up to, my friend.

Thanks MM.

What I wanted to express is:

Thinking in depth, the deeper you could think, the greater destination you could reach. That is, where is your idea going, where have you been.

(The problem with putting it only in the title, Oristar, is that I cannot 'copy' and 'paste' it here, but must retype)--

'How deep our thinking can touch, then how far we can reach'-- the original doesn't link your ideas effectively. I like your second one better: '<b>the deeper we think, the greater destination we reach</b>.'

Hi Wy,

That sounds so romantic!

Thank you MM. I guess why you deleted the two "could"s is because "could' just conveies 10%-30% possibility. Right?

I wouldn't commit to a percentage, Oristar, but modals of uncertainty weaken any statement of opinion. No advertising says, 'you may like our product'!
