The key takeaways are that critical thinking involves thinking outside the box, asking important questions, finding creative solutions, and comparing assumptions to facts. Critical thinkers are curious, seek information, and don't stop at initial assumptions.

Critical thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information to form opinions and make inferences. It requires thinking differently and creatively to solve problems. Critical thinkers question information, compare opinions to facts, and are willing to argue a point backed by evidence.

To become a critical thinker one should ask important questions, observe with an open mind, seek new solutions, and listen to others' opinions before forming their own view backed by evidence or facts.
