For me, college critical thinking is more than getting the right answer—it’s about exploring further. It’s about figuring out why something works the way it does and being able to explain your reasoning so others understand. School is not about getting quick answers. To me, it’s about furthering one’s education, building strong connections, and making the best of everything with each lesson.
Developing Strong Habits
In my finance job, I really need to take time to think. Many clients aren’t sure what they want, so I’m good at figuring it out by asking questions and listening carefully. You don’t need all the answers, just figure out what’s important. This habit improves my focus, especially under pressure.
Strong Habit 1: Forever Learning
Learning new things has become a natural habit for me. Trying a new method or starting over is fine with me. However, my biggest struggle is persistence. If I do not see results quickly, I get discouraged and switch gears too soon. Even as a content creator, I would quit or burn out too soon.
My goal is to stick with something for at least a year. If it doesn’t work out, then I’ll move on to the next tool. Then again, if it works out, then I will improve my craft and turn it into an exceptional gift.
Strong Habit 2: Critical Thinking
Critical thinking helps me slow down and think things through. I often take a moment to pause and rephrase my questions, rather than rushing into the next task. Believe me, I know I don’t always have time to slow down. My fast-paced call center job taught me that. Still, even with my busy schedule, I make time for brief moments of mindfulness between calls. These quick pauses help me reset, think more clearly, and respond with more strategy and intention.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a student, a parent, or someone trying to juggle a lot at once, critical thinking can make life feel less overwhelming. It gives you a steady way to approach decisions, conversations, and goals without being rushed or misled. What do you think?
