标题：每日成长必知：批判性思考的3个基本方法
Title: Daily Growth Essentials: 3 Basic Methods of Critical Thinking

开头：在免费知识越来越多的时候，智慧显得愈发珍贵。此处，就不得不提“批判性思考”critical thinking，举个栗子：
Introduction: As free knowledge becomes more and more abundant, wisdom becomes increasingly valuable. Here, we have to mention “critical thinking.” For example:

有天，你下班很早，回到家，另一半兴冲冲地走过来给你看了最新一期的杂志，上面有一篇XX产品TOP排行榜，正巧过几天就是结婚纪念日，你会怎么想？
One day, you get off work early and return home. Your partner excitedly comes over and shows you the latest issue of a magazine with a TOP ranking of XX products. It just so happens that your anniversary is in a few days. What do you think?

普通人思维：阿，TA肯定是想要我给TA买这个XX作礼物
Ordinary thinking: Ah, TA definitely wants me to buy this XX as a gift for TA.
批判性思维：①TA给我看这篇排行榜，上面写的是适合未婚人士，并不一定适合TA
Critical thinking: ①TA shows me this ranking, which is suitable for unmarried people and may not be suitable for TA.
②我一直加班，今天难得很早，平时我们说话机会很少，TA给我看这篇杂志，可能只是想找一个话题，和我聊聊
②I’ve been working overtime a lot lately, and today I’m off early. We rarely talk, so TA might just be looking for a topic to chat with me.
③我会买给TA礼物，并且在送礼物时，我会说：“一直以来都很感谢你，我现在过得很幸福，我们俩坐下来好好吃顿饭，说说话吧。”
③I will buy a gift for TA, and when giving the gift, I will say, “I’ve always been grateful to you. I’m very happy now. Let’s sit down and have a good meal together, talk, and chat.”

双倍幸福！
Double happiness!

这就是为什么很多人送礼物一直送“表面文章”，送不进对方心理的原因，你的逻辑思考还处在“线性阶段”
This is why many people give gifts that only touch the “surface level” and fail to reach the other person’s heart. Your logical thinking is still in the “linear stage.”

怎么建立？3个基本方法⬇️
How to build it? 3 basic methods ⬇️

STEP ① 明确目的是什么
STEP ① Clarify the purpose
（假如你要去便利店买牛奶，你会：①带上钱包、钥匙和手机②花时间打扮的花枝招展，选择①，你的目的仅是买牛奶，选择②，你是想去泡 妞/搭 汉。
(If you’re going to the convenience store to buy milk, you would: ①bring your wallet, keys, and phone; ②spend time dressing up to attract attention. Choose ①, your purpose is simply to buy milk; choose ②, you’re going to flirt with someone.
总结：从根本目的出发，思考“这真的有必要吗？”能帮你省去很多事，这些事不做也不会有问题）
Summary: Starting from the fundamental purpose, think about “is this really necessary?” This can help you save a lot of trouble, and not doing these things won’t cause any problems.)

STEP ② 明确思维模式框架
STEP ② Clarify the thinking framework
（对于自己得出的结论，一个人的思维框架取决于2点：①以往成功经验②过去的常识；建立好初步思维框架后，你就需要用“真是这样吗？”发问+搜索信息+持续思考，得出之前从未有过的看法，或找到从未有过的发现。
(For your own conclusions, a person’s thinking framework depends on 2 points: ①past successful experiences; ②past common sense. After establishing a preliminary thinking framework, you need to question with “is it really like this?” + search for information + keep thinking to come up with new perspectives or discoveries you’ve never had before.
比如你只知道“好奇害死猫”，但你知道它还有后半句“但对好奇心的满足又让它复生”吗？
For example, you only know “curiosity killed the cat,” but do you know there’s a second half: “but the satisfaction of curiosity brings it back to life”?
如果不会搜索，《搜索力》适合你O网页链接）
If you’re not good at searching, “Search Power” is suitable for you. O网页链接)

STEP ③ 不断发问（所以呢why so？为什么呢so what？）
STEP ③ Keep asking questions (so why? why so? so what?)
（对于接收到的外界信息，不断用why so+so what来自我发问，才能找到“真正的问题”。比如，最近业绩不好啊：
(For the information you receive from the outside world, keep asking yourself “why so?” and “so what?” to find the “real problem.” For example, if your recent performance is not good:
①why so：什么原因导致业绩不好？
①Why so: What caused the poor performance?)
②so what：销售环节怎样改进？改进了能增加多少销量？
②So, how can the sales process be improved? How much more sales can be achieved after the improvement?
对于普通人而言，面对“最近业绩不好阿”的话题，通常只会附和“我也是这样啊”、“最近真的超差的”、“哎，奖金没了”等无价值内容）
For ordinary people, when faced with the topic of “recently the performance is not good,” they usually just echo “I’m in the same boat,” “it’s really terrible lately,” “oh, the bonus is gone,” and other valueless content.

结尾：乔布斯曾说：“不要让他人的观点掩盖你内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气追随自己的内心和直觉。” 这就是批判性思维的价值所在
Conclusion: Steve Jobs once said, “Don’t let others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” This is the value of critical thinking.
