At the core of critical thinking is fear.
Are we afraid of being wrong?
Are we afraid of not knowing?
Are we afraid of not being able to face the challenges we aren’t prepared to face?
If we are brave enough to admit that we may be wrong, we are more open to what’s more likely to work.
If we are honest enough to accept that we don’t know, we take the humble position of learning from everyone and anywhere.
If we trust ourselves enough, instead of clinging to the idea of competence, we embrace resilience and try again and again.
Our attitude and posture determine how far we can take our critical thinking skills in everything we do.
