On Thinking

Critical thinking is a very important in life and makes you think about things wouldn't normally come to mind, it is thinking outside of the box. Most human beings take the easy way out and just say what comes to mind but critical thinking is alot deeper than that.

During their senior year of high school many kids are trying to figure out what job they want to pursue in the future. This is a good example of critical thinking. They try to think about things that they are good at or interests them and try to go into that. This takes alot of critical thinking because you can't just pick something and go for it. For instance if you pick a doctor, during your high school years you should take alot of science and math classes and if you are into agriculture and took alot of those classes a doctor probably isnt the best decision to make.

As human beings we don't think about the little detailed stuff. We just look at the big picture and make our decisions off of that and sometimes that isn't the best thing to do. If we stop and think things through there won't be as many problems as there are today. Thinking critically will give you a better chance of not making that mistake.
