why？
生活的环境之中，会受到周围各式观点的影响，柏杨提出的酱缸文化极为形象，令人可怕的是，身在其中而不自知。在投资的世界里，韭菜一说同理。
what is critical thinking?
*The essence of critical thinking is evaluation.the process by which we test claims and arguments and determine which have merit and which do not.
对观点进行评估，测试，进而决定观点成立与否。
how？
首先需要分清事实与观点。
既然要进行评估，那么个人的知识结构至关重要，且立场需要保持客观，不可抱有认知偏差。
即便知识不全面，也要尽最大努力，学会提问，发扬打破砂锅问到底的精神，以至于寻求帮助，从而完成评估。提问的能力，直接反映出一个人的思维认知清晰程度。
倘若感情用事，夜郎自大，就是拒绝批判性思维。
唯有保持诚实，保持客观，超越个人情感，方能入门。
Becoming an individual
Treat your first reaction to any person,issue,or situation as tentative.
Decide why you reacted as you did.
Think of other possible reactions you might have had to the person,issue,or situation.
Ask yourself whether one of the other reactions is more appropriate than your first reaction.
