This year Critical thinking has been one of the elements that I have chosen to work upon in professional and personal life. So far the journey has been interesting. The first thing that I have understood is that we all think and we all think critically too. But the catch is that we need to rewire our beliefs and value and paradigms to make our critical thinking skills more useful.<\/p>\n<p>In our journey of critical thinking class so far we have got to know about the types of cognitive biases we all use in our day-to-day life. It is just that all of us think differently about different things. From the sharings, I can infer that all of us go through a lot of different experiences and that molds our ability to think critically in certain situations.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m interested now in is to learn is how we can sharpen this saw of critical thinking skills by applying different strategies. Like &#8216;Murder your darling&#8217; was a really interesting activity that makes you forcefully keep your emotions, likings, and beliefs aside and look at things in a more 360-degree manner view to better make decisions. Look forward to more interesting learnings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this year has started with a lot of chaos and in between this pandemic, we started our new academic year with full grit!
