Usually, around this >> time of the year, I dust off reading material from my library shelf, looking >> for something that will energize me for the new year ahead. >> A Christmas present from my wife, given several years ago as I settled >> into my retirement from teaching, "Think Better," by Tim Hurson, a >> specialist of a firm that provides training, facilitation and consultation >> in productive thinking and innovation, is, again, what I read: "Your future >> will depend less on what you know and more on what you think." >> A lifelong student, I try to learn something new every day. Since my >> retirement, each day seems extra special and precious -- for which I give >> much thanks. I smile as I read what Winston Churchill, who led Britain to >> victory against the Axis powers in World War II, said: "It is a good thing >> for an uneducated man to read books of quotations." >> My regular readers know I am a real quotations buff. Some may see them >> as platitudes, but I find a kernel of truth in those I share in this column. >> As each presents a way of looking at the world, I learn from them. As 19th >> century American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Our best thoughts come >> from others." >> So I find this time is a good time to remind, and reconnect with Hurson, >> who has a pragmatic, readable style: "It's not what you know but how you >> think" that determines your future and your life. His philosophy may be >> summarized in five words: "Think better to do better." >> Quality of thought >> Surely each of us thinks. That ability separates us from animals, which >> operate on instinct. But some people confuse opinion -- an idea >> unsubstantiated by knowledge -- with thought -- which involves careful >> analysis. This careful, reasoned thought can be characterized as critical >> thinking. >> The Foundation of Critical Thinking posits, "all thinking is not of the >> same quality. ... Much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, >> distorted, partial, uninformed, or downright prejudiced." High-quality >> thinking improves our quality of life and the quality of everything we do. >> The Foundation's publications describe the pitfalls of "aimless >> thinking" -- the "monkey mind," as Hurson calls it. Rather, we should engage >> our mind in generating further questions -- the foundation sees this process >> as a "substantive learning" -- "A mind with no question is a mind that is >> not intellectually alive." >> 'Essential questions' >> Without further questions, a mind does not know how to proceed or to >> process. Recall Aung San Suu Kyi's call on her compatriots to maintain a >> "questing mind." >> Hurson, an optimist, assures us that whatever intelligence quotient, IQ, >> or creative quotient, CQ, your brain may have, "every brain ... can be >> taught to think better: to understand more clearly, think more creatively, >> and plan more effectively." >> Thus, any person can develop and grow. >> Like the foundation, Hurson urges us to "keep asking new questions," >> even if it seems clear and obvious what the answers are, because to stop >> asking questions is to stop productive thinking and deny ourselves new >> possibilities. We need to ask "essential questions" in order for us to deal >> with "what is necessary, relevant, and indispensable to a matter at hand," >> whether in reading, writing, speaking, or doing anything. >> Recently, I logged on to a Web site and spent time dissecting a former >> Cambodian professor's call for a "progressive and systematic overhaul" of >> Cambodian society to enable the country to gradually resolve its current >> economic, institutional, legal, political and social problems. As I found >> Dr. Tith's explanations of the main causes of the inertia and the failure of >> new ideas, capable leadership and entrepreneurial spirit to grow in >> Cambodia, to emanate from a dearth of quality thinking, I wrote about his >> call in my columns. >> I also wrote in this space of my thinking about how it is desirable to >> have a hundred different thoughts bloom in the garden of ideas to enable us >> to choose from the best, to develop and improve society. My recent columns >> deal with ideas, commitment and change. Change upsets some people as their >> world is disturbed. >> Yet, as we are the product of thoughts, what then do we become when >> ideas and thoughts are seen as damaging to progress and development? I dread >> what authoritarianism can do to mankind. >> Last week, I wrote about Thomas Friedman's "The Power in 11/9" when >> people power brought down the Berlin Wall in 1989 without firing a shot. >> Friedman's thoughts: "Where there is people power wedded to progressive >> ideas, there is hope -- and American power can help. Where there is people >> power harnessed to bad ideas, there is danger. Where there is no people >> power and only bad ideas, there will be no happy endings." >> Imagination >> On Nov. 22, Friedman's "Advice From Grandma" says most seem to agree that >> "it's all but certain that China will own the 21st century." But Friedman is >> "not ready to cede the 21st century to China just yet," because America >> still has important things that can't be commoditized -- one is >> "imagination," and Americans still have the ability to "imagine and spin off >> new ideas" to thrive. The other is "good governance, which can harness >> creativity." >> Friedman is worried about America's ability to forge "optimal" solutions >> to her biggest challenges, and suggests America "need(s) better citizens." >> As we're prepared to leave the old year behind, I look to renewing >> "Think better to do better" for myself, and wish the same for my readers in >> the New Year 2010! >> ** >> *A Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D., is retired from the University of Guam, >> where he taught political science for 13 years.
