Critical thinking: a description

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

A graduate school is offering this for off campus students at five numbers entrance fee.  Fortunately, I had a chance to learn this and even teach this in entrep course I was handling at GSB.  I teach this/train our staff on this skill

It is very easy to fall into the conventional non critical thinking as we deal with our relatives and rest of our work force.  Critical thinking essentially stems from desire to decide intelligently,, separate the chaff from  the grains, and think logically.  Covered under the critical thinking topics are:

1.  Olo  -  observe learn observe

2.  Deductive reasoning (from general to particular)

3.   Inductive reasoning (from particular to general  (conclusion from data)

4.  Classifying, labelling

Not because an event happened before a another does it mean that it is the cause.

A particular event can not be held as universal truth.  Yet surveys make us think that way.

Innovative thinking, lateral thinking as formulated by Edward de Bono should be included here?

What was not discussed during my time is how crisis and extreme difficulties can can cause us to search for solutions that are bizarre and not done before

Cheap foodstuffs for breakfast and snacks support those at the edges of society (laylayan ng lipunan)

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

I still patronize the neighborhood carinderia that sells food, snacks, breakfast at the following prices:

                   Lugaw                                                                P10.00

                   Egg (boiled, fried)                                                12.00

                   Pancit  (Canton, Bihon, Malabon)                       15,00

                   Luglog, Spag                                                        15.00

                   Lumpia (togue and shanghai                                10.00

                   Lomi                                                                     15.00

                   Fried rice                                                              15.00

If you are used to P99.00 breakfast, a P299.00 dish in Manila resto, you find this shocking

We are thankful to the entrepreneurs, business owner who continue to serve these affordable dishes, to

alleviate the high prices everywhere.

Mabuhay kayo.   Happy independence day...

Retired at 65 - ensures that young blood perpetuates the race

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

When I turned 65, my contract to teach at the GSB was no longer renewed.  No more teaching assignments.  No use arguing that when one gets older, ones faculty becomes dimmer.

In the other classes where there were senior teaching staff, there was much criticism on: the appearance, (probably even the smell - amoy lupa), the teaching methods, and old edition of their references.

Although there were inconsistencies (some senior colleagues stayed on) by and large most of the elderly were asked to stay at home once they were 65:   presidents, department heads, etc.

Such is the way so that only fresh more vigorous individuals carry the torch.   With more energy zeal and enthusiasm to carry the task.

A study was made regarding having the elderly run the community vs those run by young blood.   The latter scored well on many fronts.

Well anyway, we did our best when we were younger
