What mode of thinking can be trained into?

Methods and skills of thinking at all times and in all countries, the wise man is described, and several of the most return my own practice but also is a commonplace talk of an old scholar. But to consider this issue is particularly important, I was simply restate.

First I will distinguish between three kinds of thinking scene, and then explained in each category. 1.Phenomena: the key is the abstract thinking training, or to find the deep structure of things behind. Most consumer products, there are at least three layer of skin, bone, meat, but only to hide charm audiences, but I was more interested in the bone. Abstract there are different levels, and I try to seek the most deep of various cases to explain the structure of the strongest, such as power function, fractal, a parabola is, of course not this level also will not insist, but will try to pursue this goal: a good abstraction cannot be refuted. 2.Create new things: the key is the composite thinking training. Similarly, a single skill or knowledge system does not have the structure of things, had a flash of inspiration is just the first step, because the structure of new things need to consciously polymerization of different structure, elements, forms, ways of expression together, structured form elements of the stack, and in this process, most cases the underlying structure, something needs to be covered up. 3.The problem solving: the key is to redefine the ability training problem. Most of the problem is wrong, because if the questioner knew the correct way of expressing problems, then maybe he would have been able to solve this problem, at least he has accurately identify the direction of solution. Figuratively speaking, most of the questions like, a man walked into a dead end in the maze of the dead, then made a description, and redefine the goal is the reduction of the whole maze. Then again, the so-called training, means you know not only these methods, not only is to view it as a kind of knowledge, more importantly to this bag manufacturer method as an every hour and moment not to practice habits, study and work in practice are often meaningful in daily life. Finally, add two points: A. a lot of people think highly of critical thinking, and even make critical thinking as thinking ability, is biased. Critical thinking training can help you to better identify the bad stuff, but for you to accumulate good stuff is useful, for example in the observation of the phenomenon, and find the deep structure can let you often have income, while critical thinking is just let your attention in a hole (Ren Hedong West has bugs). B. thinking ability and knowledge are not independent, but complementary to each other. Simply on thinking training has no meaning, thinking training with high value of knowledge and talent is the right way to blunt. The so-called high value knowledge refers to bag factory the reuse rate is high, wide applicability, long service life and depth of knowledge.
