Today,
I was introduced to Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities in the class. I was told to think
about one capability that I am lacking among all the 8 aspects. At the same
time, I have to figure out a number of ways to improve myself in the particular
aspect.
The capability that I currently don’t
possess is thinking and problem solving skills. In school, we tend to accept completely
what was being taught and never bother to figure out how the knowledge
originate. Thus, I am always too passive to think critically in a creative way.
I tend to ‘google’ everything instead of
thinking independently on my own.
Thus,
I ought to work on this aspect. In an
effort to improve my thinking skill, I have to practise critical thinking
skills such as analysing, decision making, interpreting and so forth. These
skills are of paramount importance to me as a young blood of the nation. Whenever I read up on something or be informed
of something, I should apply good thinking skills and logical reasoning skills
to justify and analyse the information. I shouldn’t just accept it without even
realising or questioning the authenticity of the information. Moreover, I need
to think out of the box. Creativity will certainly give me an edge over others.
Other than that, I should also understand the knowledge instead of just
memorizing for the sake of memorizing.
