SMART THINKING BOOK PART ONE

1. FIRST PART REVIEW

a. What is Smart Thinking?

Smart thinking is understanding the problem, to think and evaluate

alternative to implement the best solution that we get at the moment. If
we do not use smart thinking, we could make mistakes. In short, it is the
principle key to success and problem solving.

b. Why do we need Smart Thinking?

To my concept, smart thinking is suitable to say, read or write something

with a concrete idea about what we want to communicate. In addition, it is
useful to make us have more and better consensus decisions.

Smart Thinking provides a simple framework to understand how memory

and experience work while providing methods to implement specific
strategies that will enable deliberate, helpful changes to improve our
effectiveness.  Author Art Markman utilizes his years in cognitive
psychology to “replace self-limiting habits with those that foster ‘smart
thinking’”.  ‘Smart Thinking’ simply means:  do more, better. It is the ability
to solve new problems using one’s current knowledge, and the good news
is that it is a skill that one can develop. 

To my concept These habits let you recognize useful ideas and information
you might otherwise miss. Then, you can make sure that you remember
that information when you need it. This improves your decision-making. 
To think smart, you must use reasoning. Reasoning is the basis of much of
our thinking. It is often described simply as the process of thinking through
and communicating our reasons for holding certain views or conclusions.
Reasoning is, however, better defined as a process of understanding and
exploring the relation-ships between the many events, objects, and ideas in
our world. When we make these connections, we are able to function much
more effectively and to make sense of the world around us. In particular,
we are more capable of communicating our ideas and discussing
knowledge with other people.

Basically, unless we are smart thinkers, we cannot understand the world as

well as we should; we cannot solve problems effectively and consistently;
we cannot be successful in the areas of our life that concern information.

The second part is about using the language, every time we argue or
explain something, we use language—regardless of whether we are
thinking to ourselves or communicating with others. As children, we learn
to use language so 'naturally' that we tend to take its use for granted. In
fact, there are many subtleties and complexities in language.
Practical communication via texts depends on the way these words connect
the statements. Finally, the last level of language-use is the context, which
consists of all the elements outside a particular text that make it
meaningful.
Smart thinkers must be capable of understanding how each of these four
levels of language use relates to one another, and of how to write good
statements, link them together to make a text, and consider the contextual
factors that bear upon their text.
We cannot tell just from the written or spoken expression of a statement
whether or not it is a claim. Rather, we must look at the defining property
of a claim: that it asserts something to be true.
