The Only Skill We Need

Given the increasing pace of change — driven mostly by technological innovations — and uncertainty, the axiomatic need to learn on a daily basis is self evident.

So, how can we learn best on a daily and continued basis?

The answer is straight forward: By developing the one and only skill we’ll ever need, namely, Critical Thinking. Thus, becoming Tropophilic!

Critical thinking is the only skill we’ll ever need because this skill encompasses every other skill you can think of, such as the following:

1. Open-Mindedness

Open-mindedness is, by definition, unlimited and it is the very first step toward critical thinking. The power of an open mind can be best appreciated when dealing with a narrow-minded individual.

2. Depth Of Thought

The ability to delve into unfathomable complexity of life itself mostly by asking “What if”?

3. Scope/Breadth Of Thought

The ability to encompass and envision viewpoints considered impossible. This requires reconciling scientific knowledge (i.e., Refined Knowledge) and ecological knowledge (i.e., Common Sense).

4. Clarity Of Thought

A clear sense of a higher purpose. This also requires reconciling refined knowledge and common sense in addition to a peaceful conscience.

5. Accuracy Of Thought
