Summary
Helen Lee Bouygues, the author of the article “3 Simple Habits to Improve Your Critical
Thinking” uses his personal experience to guide people on the art of critical thinking skills. The
author in this article discusses three very useful and simple habits to enrich critical thinking
skills. Since, critical thinking skills are important for the different groups of people such as
researchers, employees and students, these should be dealt with strategically to develop effective
thinking on a situation. The three simple habits discussed in the article are as mentioned below
(Bouygues, 2019):
1. Question assumptions
Making assumptions for the question should come at the right time or else the significance of
question assumptions might be lost. A shopkeeper selling cosmetic goods should figure out the
set of suitable questions regarding its customer needs and wants of the cosmetic, while making
the supply orders. This would help the shopkeeper order the in-demand items only. The rolling
of stocks in this way would ensure that items get sold in quick times. The consequence benefits
of this strategy can be easily understood. The shopkeeper will be able to manage a good flow of
cash, which is necessary to stock both the current and new items.
