We are compared with others all the time. Our parents may compare us with our sisters and brothers. Our teachers compare us with other students. They want to use these ways to cheer us up and hope we can become the good examples. But most of the time, we are too stressed to move forward.
We are compared with others about everything like grades and heights. As a result, when we do something, we hope to get praise (表扬) from others, especially from our parents and teachers. When we can't get praise, we won't be happy. This also makes us feel very uncomfortable and stressed. However, in fact, it will be helpful for us if we treat (看待) it in a right way. From comparison (比较), we can understand ourselves better and learn about the differences between us and others. This pushes us forward all the time.
We can not run away from comparing. Always keep in your mind that your only competitor (竞争者) is yourself—it is the most important competitor for you.
It takes time to practice critical(批判性) thinking, but it's never too late to start. The following steps will help people to become critical thinkers.
Step 1: Ask Questions Critical thinkers start by asking questions. They ask themselves: If this, then what? If that, then how will the result be different? They may think about all possible ideas before they make decisions. | |
Step 2: Look for Answers Critical thinkers search for answers. They make use of all possible tools or interview people for information. Then they analyze (分析) the information with an open mind. They compare and decide what the best answers are. | |
Step 3: … After critical thinkers get new ideas to work out problems, they share these ideas with their teammates and get support from them. During communication with others, better ideas often come up. |
