The Mind

Learn how to use Soroban, a japanese version of the Abacus.
What most important about the Soroban or how it is use to calculate number operations, is that it actually does not help you calculate the answer but it just a kind of visual assitance to your numbers. The real calculations and number are actually stored in your mind.
Let me give you a brief example.

8 + 3 = ?

This is how it works. 8 is made up of 5 and 3. or which 8 is 2 less to get 10.
3 is made up of 2 and 1.
with these mental seperation of the numbers, you can see in your mind that u take 2 from "3". put it into "8" which makes 10 and add your balance of 1, which gives you the answer 11.

8 + 3 = 11

same goes for the idea that 6 is made up of 5 and 1.
9 is made up of 5 and 4.
With these break down of numbers you can easily form up your answer.

Critical Thinking

Critical Thinking - Is a mental process that evaluate and analyze the given information. It often uses Reasoning, Reliable Evidence, Possible Assumptions, Logic of explanation, Inferance of the information, and Clarity of Information, etc.

Critical Thinking is not to block other's speech or opinions that was given by them, but simply to help them if they are unsure of their own information.
To question what is given is good but to question every little step of what is given is kinda irritating or inappropriate. Bottom line is that one must not be gullible and accept every little facts for granted. Do some research on it before believing it 100%.

Critical Thinking is a Skill which means it has to learn and put to practice inorder to be good at it.

Critical Thinking is useful other than to question other regarding their given information but it also makes us more aware of our own output information that we usually give others.

Remember, Critical Thinkers aware of their own flaws and help others. Not to question other and assume that their way of thinking is wrong. Help other than have difficulty in sorting information together and give them clarity to the subject that they will then have a clearer view of the whole subject.

Limitation - NLP

Brilliant NLP - By David Molden and Pat Hutchison

NLP - NeuroLinguistic Programme

Limitation
: example: if you say that you can't do something, in your mind you are limiting your abilities to do what u actually can do.
If a mom says this to a her kid, "I dont think u can do that, its just not possible"
the kids would try to do it but just wont able to do his best as the believe is already looping in his mind that he cant do it.
