Practice Thinking Better

Einstein nailed it when he said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Thinking better is like any other skill – and you have to practice it. But here’s the thing: Unfortunately, nobody really taught us how to do that. We learned subjects like maths and physics, but not how to think better. 

So, how do we get good at it?

Question everything. Don’t just go with the flow – ask why things are the way they are.

Stay curious; approach life with a mindset to explore and learn.

Be critical. Don’t gulp down information without thought; form your own opinions.

Be open-minded – consider different views and be ready to change your mind with new information.

Training our minds to think better is a vital life skill: practice questioning, curiosity, critical thinking, and open-mindedness to get better at thinking better.
