11b01font00Good explanation, Westlake. I would add that I believe the preposition "on" (or even "as to") is used with reflect. "We should reflect on his good qualities rat

Hi, this might be a question a bit hard to explain easily.

But when do you, I mean, in which situation, do you normally use the word 'reflect' in the meaning of 'think quietly and calmly'?

Well, I had a management class last semester, and the teacher used the word 'reflect' quiet often than any other classes.

Is that because in management you have to think a lot? In mana
