4. Discipline

If you want find out are you discplined, some say try with simple workout chanlenges. Example, do 10 push ups for 10 days in row. If you can find few minutes per day for it, then you can try something else and keep doing it.

As I am in the category of senior citizen, I've been told that you should play those "brain games" to stay sharp. One of my friends enjoyed those. I don't do that because when I visit Twitter ("X") my brain gets teased enough! I think knowing how to navigate social media is an essential skill these days.

I'm down for critical thinking and patience. I'll forever be grateful for a former employer, who drummed both these qualities into me. I especially appreciate them now that I work remotely/online.

That's interesting @Angie10, in what ways do you use critical thinking to your advantage? I ask because I would like to improve my ability in this area.

Thanks so much, @Fergal So, when I was with my former employer in the UK (Pearson) these skills were instilled in every customer service colleague through ongoing training. In fact, even through the interview process, you had to prove that you possessed them. I went one further and did 2 customer service NVQs where I reinforced the skills and excelled at it because it really spoke to my way of thinking and the jobs I tend to do, particularly those that involve customer relations.

I'm not sure I can answer the howin respect to yourself LOL But these skills lend themselves to the way we interact with others around us in our day to day lives. For instance, I easily transferred them to my job in the media, and even now as a teacher, they come in handy. In my view, if you are a decent person, which I believe you are, you're halfway there.

Most people, including yourself, already have these skills without knowing or necessarily slapping a label on them. For instance, being fair/objective, respectful, emotionally intelligent etc. Also, being able to quickly analyse situations and problems, having the ability to rationally and sometimes creatively coming up with solutions to complex scenarios, all essential to excellent service delivery, are also applicable elsewhere.

Where were you wanting to apply your critical thinking skills?

UK (Pearson)

Oh! We have a Pearson here in the US. I wonder if they are the same company.

critical thinking skills

When I used to be able to visit a library, I checked out books on developing leadership skills and management skills. Those kinds of books had tips on how to develop your creative thinking skills.

Also and this is old-school, I used to keep 3 x 5 index cards with quotes & sayings OR jot down my own random thoughts. I filed them alphabetically and then every now and then I would just pull a card out of the box and read it. Then see where the words would lead me.

Will I travel a straight path or a winding road?

One last thing. Make sure you spend some time alone with yourself and let your thoughts run wild.

Hope this helps!

Good for you Angie10, thanks very much for your helpful reply and your kind words.

Life in general, basically I am always open to ways to improve my thinking skills and intelligence, in order to help make life better for myself and others.

Ooops! I quoted @angie10 but I was directing the comments to you, Mr. Fergal.
