Critical thinking facilitates people to understand themselves in a better way. It also helps people to know what motivates them and what their objectives could be. When one can gather information to find the most crucial parts and apply those to one’s life, he can change his situation and encourage personal growth and overall happiness. 

Critical thinking is about asking the right questions. The questions that help you assess the meaning and significance of both claims and arguments. Developing these skills and applying them to your life makes it easier for you to assess every situation, every problem. 

It helps us change our thinking and use it effectively in different situations. Critical thinking gives us a new perspective, a new standpoint from which we can have a new look at something from a different and broader angle before coming to any conclusion or making any decisions. It helps us identify the key points, examine the source of information, weighing all the different pieces of evidence that are available. Once all that is done, then the thinker contemplates on all the factors and finally comes to a conclusion. Critical thinking does not mean being critical of other people and situations. It is not only limited to finding flaws in other people or the situations.
