Information and thinking:
5
Does thinking have to be difficult?
We dont have to give people the tasks which are too
difficult for them to do, to develop their thinking.
Tasks that are almost impossible destroy confidence. that is
why so many people are turned off thinking. there is no joy
of performing if you can not perform.
The belief that if you can do very difficult things then you
can also do all things that are less difficult is not supported
by human experience.

Reactive and proactive thinking
Reactive thinking: in school it is very practical to put work-
sheets, textbooks and blackboard text in front of students. The
students are then asked to react to what is before them. For these
practical reasons almost all the thinking taught in school is
reactive. (Here is something-what do you think of it?)

Attitudes towards the skill of thinking
Attitudes affect our whole approach to thinking.
Bad attitudes:
11
Good attitudes:
iii. I am a thinker.
ii. Things that appear complicated at first can often be made more simple.
iv. Separate your ego from your thinking. Look at your thinking objectively.
The six thinking hats is a method for doing one sort of thinking at
a time.
The example for six thinking hats operation is full- color printing
on paper.
14
Why hats?
Hats often define a role we are playing at the moment.
15
White-hat thinking
The white hat means neutral information. It is not a matter of argument
or making suggestions. White-hat thinking focuses directly on the
available information.
What information do we have and what information is missing?
17
Black-hat thinking
The black hat is certainly the most used off all the hats. In some
ways it is also the most valuable of the hats. It prevents us from
making mistakes and doing silly things.
The black hat is concerned with truth and reality. It is the hat of
critical thinking.
Is it true? Will it work? What are the dangers and problems?
Yellow-hat thinking
With yellow hat we are concerned with benefits.
The yellow hat is looking forward into the future, and also looking
backwards into the past.
If we do this, then these benefits will arise..
This thing happened, there were some good effects..

notes
The black hat is used for judgment, assessment and criticism. It
prevents mistakes and errors and lead to the improvement of ideas.
Both the black hat and the yellow hat are forms of judgment.
Both hats have to be entirely logical. With both hats there have to be
strong reasons for what you say.
If there are no reasons you should be using the red hat, because a
statement without reasons is a feeling or intuition.
19
Green-hat thinking
The green hat is the active hat. It is the hat for creative
thinking. It is concerned with proposals and suggestions.
The white hat lays out the information. The red hat allows
feelings to be put forward. The black and yellow hats deal
with logical assessment. So it falls to the green hat to be the
action hat under which ideas are put forward. 20
Blue hat thinking
With blue-hat thinking you are thinking about thinking.
21
The green hat and the blue hat are opposites in the
sense that the green hat is full of energy and the freedom
of thinking in any direction whereas the blue hat is
concerned with the control and direction of the thinking
process.

Even a single thinking habit or tool
taken from this comprehensive book
may strongly affect the
future of your
child.
Teach your child how to think.
Do not wait for school to do it.
