Think intensively and think critically, the three words seem simple yet are extremely difficult to practice in everyday life, especially when human nature drives us to make most decisions emotionally. How can we cultivate this skill? Can it be taught, learned, or practiced?
Before diving into these questions, it's important to remember the true purpose of education. As Martin Luther King Jr. wisely stated, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education." This philosophy isn't just an abstract ideal; it’s actively embodied in educational systems like that of Canada.
