Critical Thinking: How to Survive in a Rapidly Changing World
The key to every man is his thought. |
| -- Emerson |
Of all knowledge, the wise and good seek most to know themselves. |
| -- Shakespeare |
Do you want to know the man against whom you have most reason to guard yourself? Your looking-glass will give you a very fair likeness of his face. |
| -- Whately |
The first step to knowledge is to know that we are ignorant. |
| -- Cecil |
The more you practice what you know, the more shall you know what to practice. |
| -- W. Jenkin |
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it. |

Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn whatever he pleases, and as much as he pleases; he will never know anything of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his own mind. |
| -- Pestalozzi |
There is nothing we do as humans that does not involve thinking. Our thinking tells us what to believe, what to reject, what is important, what is unimportant, what is true, what is false, who are our friends, who are our enemies, how we should spend our time, what jobs we should pursue, where we should live, who we should marry, how we should parent. Everything we know, believe, want, fear, and hope for, our thinking tells us.
It follows, then, that the quality of our thinking is the primary determinant of the quality of our lives. It has implications for how we go about doing literally everything we do.
The quality of your work is determined by the quality of your thinking as you reason through the problems you face as you work. The quality of your relationships is determined by the thinking you do about and in those relationships. Right now, as you read this book, the very sense you make of it is a product of your thinking. Your ability to understand and internalize the ideas it contains will be determined by the quality of your thinking as you read it.
