| | Critical Thinking |
| | Since the early 1980s, Richard Paul has preached the need for critical thinking to everyone who would listen. | | | We need to think aloud and open ourselves up to hearing what we are saying so that we can think better. | | | Eastern voices on improving thinking go back at least as far as Lao-Tzu (604 – 531 BCE), Confucius (551 – 479 BCE) and Ashoka (273-236 BCE). |

Artists are curious individuals who are driven by a desire to create and a willingness to take chances. |

| | Afeless Thinking |
| | Seeing someone our own age who looks bad can cause us to think, "Oh no, I hope I don't look like that." Alternatively, seeing a contemporary who looks fantastic, can raise hope or instill an unfair comparison. | | | More and more people are thinking of retiring many times throughout their lives, only to take a break from one lifestyle or career to regroup and start something new. | | | The single most important factor in Ageless Thinking is to think as an individual. |

| | Critical thinking is a complex activity and we should not expect that one method of instruction will prove sufficient for developing each of its component parts. | | | Synthesis (which might be considered more equivalent to creative thinking) requires an individual to look at parts and relationships (analysis) and then to put these together in a new and original way. | | | They work to establish the differences between critical thinking and other important aspects of thinking such as creative thinking. |

| | However, this conception indicates the place of thinking in the series of natural phenomena and, as we shall see, puts a vast multitude of facts together in a system. | | | The core of our conception is not some hypothesis regarding the concrete structure and working mechanism of the brain, but rather a selection of those functional concepts through which a consistent and sufficiently convincing explanation of the facts we know about thinking becomes possible. | | | We still know so little about the process of thinking and the structure of the thinking brain that any theory claiming to explain this phenomenon as a whole is hypothetical. |

| | About Systems Thinking |
| | Based on a field of study known as system dynamics, systems thinking has a practical value that rests on a solid theoretical foundation. | | | Systems thinking is a way of understanding reality that emphasizes the relationships among a system's parts, rather than the parts themselves. | | | This is why looking at the world through a systems thinking "lens" is so powerful: It lets you actually make the world a better place. |
