What are the benefits of independent thinking

As humans, we are advanced animals with the ability to think independently. Especially adults have a lot of thoughts. Of course, when humans are young, their brains also have the ability to think, but the things they think about when they are young are relatively simple. But as we age, our thinking abilities become more complex. Various problems will occur, but as humans, the ability to think independently is an advantage that distinguishes us from other animals, so we should make good use of this advantage. So what are the benefits of independent thinking?

People are independent individuals with thoughts. From youth to maturity, they will encounter various problems in life. If a person is unwilling to think independently, his brain and soul will rely on the thoughts of others to replace his own thoughts, and thus accept the arrangements of others. We lost ourselves unknowingly. Become a container without an independent soul, storing other people's thoughts and experiences!

The principles learned from various channels form our outlook on life and values. Everyone uses the principles they have learned to deal with all problems in life and work, but if you don’t understand a principle clearly, it will be difficult to grasp the degree when applying it. Leading to bad or failed results.

Truth is relative and can only take effect under certain conditions. The condition for this to work is degree. No matter how detailed a reasonable person explains it, he cannot tell where the exact position of that degree is. All we can simply say is that being too left is not good, and being too right is not good either. Where is the balance? You can't see or touch it, you can only rely on your own feeling. Only when you feel it and distill it into principles can you guide your future practice. Many examples have proved that no matter how much you listen to others, it will not help you change yourself. Only what you realize on your own can be the real improvement.

This is the process of independent thinking, and also the process of a person's inner growth. The purpose of listening to others’ reasoning is to make yourself understand that someone can do it and there is a way to make it work.

Independent thinking can be divided into three stages of performance:

1. The ability to question.

2. Independent and objective judgment ability
