Have You Stopped Asking WHY?
Happy Easter to all. BTW, Have You Stopped Asking WHY? Good question. I'd safely guess many [most of us anyway] have tapered off from asking WHY? WHY did I err? WHY I did my task fail? WHY did my relationship hit the rough patches? WHY did I lost my luster with my bosses at work? WHY did I squander all the goodwill given to me so I can achieve my goals? WHY am I not getting the guidance I deserve?In fact and in truth, we should be that inquisitive, questioning everything, even when we succeed and achieve. You might wonder WHY do we need to QUESTION EVERYTHING even if our locomotive train keeps its chug chug chug momentum, even if everything seems to end in our favor? It's all because of POST-MORTEM. Regardless to which side you ended up, initiating a POST-MORTEM leads you to lessons, both the positive ones and the difficult ones that are difficult to swallow.Let's gloss over the tons of failed stories we witnessed over and over again. WHY do the same mistakes happen again? WHY do we commit the same blunders again? WHY do the same failures repeat by itself again and again? Simple. No one seems to be aware to initiate a POST-MORTEM. When that is a huge miss if we are not doing it at all because during post-mortems, it covers from end-to-end, those that happened rightly and wrongly are both assessed. And with the lessons learnt, that guides you to mitigate those pitfalls so you DON'T fall on those trenches again and again. And this leads us to CRITICAL THINKING, that reasonable and reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do. Simply put, it means deciding on what's TRUE and WHAT you should do. CRITICAL THINKING retools us and equips us to come up with better decision-making. And history itself is peppered with famous persons noted for their CRITICAL THINKING. Albert Einstein. Charles Darwin. Isaac Newton. Martin Luther King and just one too many. And this runs parallel to our need to enhance our problem solving skills as those with CRITICAL THINKING tend to solve problems as part of their natural instinct. Critical thinkers are damn patient So you can ask, how can we be a CRITICAL THINKER? Primero, DEFINE YOUR QUESTION. DON'T be vague and ambiguous. In fact, you MUST KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. Segundo, collate reliable and vetted data and information. DON'T fall prey on fake info. Tercero, always ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. It all boils down to thinking CLEARLY and talking CLEARLY. Quarto, when coming up with solutions, always look at things both the short-term and the long-term consequences before reaching a decision. Both of them are significant variables in the equation. And lastly, NEVER STOP exploring all sides. There is never just one simple answer and nothing is black or white. Explore all options and THINK OUTSIDE the BOX before you conclude. In a nutshell, NEVER stop asking WHY✅✅✅No one size fits all. That explains why we're here, to share my 2-cents where it's worth it.
