Portrait of a Great Thinker

People often think that good thinking has to do with intelligence or the ability to solve a complex math problem or puzzle. I believe that good thinking isn’t just one thing. It consists of several specific thinking skills. And becoming a good thinker means developing those skills to the best of your ability. No matter your circumstances, you can learn to be a good thinker by being willing to engage in the process every day. Learn to develop each of those kinds of thinking, and you will become a better thinker. Master all that you can—including the process of shared thinking, which helps you compensate for your weak areas—and your life will change.
