Critical Thinking is not just about overwhelming thinking chaos but about cohesive understanding and skillful reasoning.
Russian: "Trust, but verify" (encourages healthy skepticism): Respect for individuals means an open-door approach to valuing fresh ideas and constructive feedback. Trust means embracing divergent thoughts, respecting differences, and converging them into fresh ideas.
TRUST takes breadth and depth of collective cognizance & effort to build up a more creative working environment. Keep in mind though, trust but verify: the quality of the feedback giver is crucial to the quality of feedback being given. The quality is about the person’s reputation, cognition, character, integrity, insight, and intention. Be humane and fair while showing competence and character. To make sound judgments, it’s crucial to have critical thinking skills, sufficient knowledge, necessary experience, and contextual understanding. That’s why it’s important to put the right people in the right position to solve the right problems at the right time.
Chinese: "A hundred hearings are not as good as one seeing.” It means seeing is believing. The world is a mix of real knowledge and misinformation. People perhaps only listen to one side of the story, trust conventional understanding, and they even spread rumors. So this idiom emphasizes the importance of evidence and observation.
Observe, observe, observe more, through your cool head, open mind, and sharp eyes, and don’t forget to leverage critical thinking and reasoning logic to understand things thoroughly to solve problems effectively. It is the best way to understand information contextually and present information objectively because it is in people's nature to receive visual information that helps to explain and portray one or more outcomes.
French: "To call into question" (promotes questioning assumptions): Questioning is both art and science. The art of question is much more about open communication, we all desire to seek and participate in conversations. The science of questioning is about collecting enough quality information and figuring out the cause-effect, engaging in open-ended conversations. The art of questioning is to provoke creative thoughts and alternative solutions.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, although almost all digital professionals today understand the importance of asking the right question, applying critical thinking skills to clarify circumstances, and dealing with complex issues thoroughly.
It would be good to think critically more often than we do concerning our actions, as critical thinking is more accustomed to strategizing, objective problem-solving, determining outcomes, and probabilities. However, critical Thinking is not just about overwhelming thinking chaos but about cohesive understanding and logical reasoning.
