agree  Susana E. Cano Méndez

  -> Gracias, Susana.
neutral  Andrew Bramhall: In the light of the subsequent confirmation by the asker, this answer is correct, hence withdrawl of the disagree; however, at the time you submitted it, it wasn't, hence no agree now!!
7 mins
  -> No sin at all and what aphorism are you talking about?
agree  JohnMcDove: Now, with the rest of the sentence, I agree... (I gave the same answer with few more options...) :-) (Didn't realize I put the EXACT same answer, but it goes to show...)

no con lo que pensar


Explanation:
Aprende a pensar y no con lo que pensar;

The 'WITH' should have been included in the question as it is pivotal to understanding the question; it seems to be about not only relying on the brain to figure things out, but also seems to recommend the relaince on feelings, intuitions, instinctsm, etc;

disagree  Henry Hinds: Not even good Spanish. What CONTEXT? There is none. The "with" must lead to something else not posted. What follows has now been posted, and "with" does lead to something else not originally posted.
3 mins
  ->  people think WITH their brains, they see WITH their eyes, they walk WITH their legs, they kick WITH their feet; Would you explain why the "with" must lead to something else not posted?? As far as I can see, it is valid as it stands;
agree  JohnMcDove: I agree with your rationale, although with the rest of the little context the correct take is Henry's... :-)
23 hrs
  -> Yes, at the time the question was posted, this was the correct answer; in the light of subsequent intervention by the asker, it no longer is;

Aprende a pensar, no qué pensar


Explanation:
Yo traducría así el refrán inglés. El "with" creo que sobra. ¿Podría trarse de un error? Saludos.

Con un poco más de contexto: "Al estudiar un Máster, aprende a pensar, no qué pensar."

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: See comments below Henry's answer; same applies to you; disagree now withdrawn.
0 min
  -> Why? :-) I know, but that's why I asked if there is an error, as I have seen just before on the same document, because it is more likely that the saying goes "Learn how to think not what to think"
agree  JohnMcDove: Como decía Schuster: "No haSe falta deSir más" :-)
