The Value of Critical Thinking

First - Give your opinion on whether being an effective critical thinker makes decision making easier or more challenging. Talk about concrete decisions you had to or will have to make. Justify your response.

Second - Consider the following statement: "The major difference between a successful person and one that is not successful is that the successful person, over time, tends to make better decisions than the less successful person."

Discuss whether or not you believe this statement to be true.

Explain the fundamental ways in which effectively applying critical thinking concepts has helped you to become more successful.
