Some thoughts as for critical thinking…

Convinced, critical thinking is one of the characteristics of personal maturity. One of the most valuable and significant qualities regarding candidate portrait, especially applying for the C-level and mid-level positions. The importance of developing and cultivating critical thinking is one of the key questions the majority of companies (not only), put before themselves.

We should pay attention to this question from the very beginning, from the first steps of young people education.

Nowadays, «clip» thinking and internet fake news neutralize the ability of people to reflect independently more and more, that causes transformations into a controlled flock. Most of them are unable to clearly differentiate false from the truth. Critical thinking must be a fundamental element in our children’s education if we do not want to end up with a society of idiots. Critical thinking looks like we are losing agreement with everything. It’s very sad.

I know this topic is very hot, and these thoughts are not limited to, but, suppose, the main message is it…

Express reasonable doubt to «double-signed» things, problems, and situations.
Cultivate critical thinking and be reasonable.
Question everything.
Find the answers.
Don’t just believe.
Be curious.
