Thinking is critical for critical thinkers

I remember asking my father one time; tell me about when i was a little boy how acted? My dad looked at me straight and said: “you use to ask many questions about everything and you still do ask a lot of questions”, he even told me a story about when i was in 5th grade, how my school teacher wrote a note on my grade book telling my parents how I liked to ask questions and how was I curious about knowing what’s going around me. Now, that I’m in college I don't ask as many question, but I’m definitely a critical thinker. I believe in controlling the mind and developing certain standards for analyzing my own thinking. By taking control of my own thinking process and knowing when to separate between fact and opinion I will able to reach high levels in life. I guess that’s why I’m a criticizer in life, if what I hear or see doesn’t make sense to me, I will analyze the whole case and ask question to reach a conclusion. The only thing that separate us apart from animals is our ability to think, so being a critical thinker means having the ability to advance in life.
