More the thinking, more the ideas


Explanation:
It must be 'Omoeba Omowareru'

this is similar to 'Yareba dekiru'

So, 'Omoeba Omowareru' means
if you start thinking then you will find many ways/ ideas'.

I.e. Dont sit.
Start thinking 'How can I do it?'
and
you will be surprized to find many ways of doing it.
