A SHORT COURSE IN THINKING

1. Be honest with yourself – Avoid temptation of self-delusion.
2. Confront problems, don’t evade them – Growth comes through facing reality.
3. Widen your interests – Stretch your mind by reading, conversation, listening.
4. Write out the problem – Positive action depends on clear thinking. Writing helps.
5. Keep first things first – Focus on the main issue; don’t be confused by non-essentials.
6. Don’t oversimplify – If a problem is serious enough to bother you, it’s worth pondering.
7. Get beyond fault finding – People know what’s wrong. They want to know what to do about it.
8. Keep an open mind – The best solution may not be your solution.
9. Retain your sense of humour – Humour can reduce prejudice and put things in right perspective.
10. Develop insight – Listen to what the other person means not merely what he says.
11. Focus on positive – Emphasize points of agreement while admitting differences.
12. Pray for solutions – God is the creator and source of all good things, right desires and just works.
