Last reviewed: March 15, 2008 ~2 min read

Sydney

My friend Sydney is one of the most accomplished critical thinkers in the world. She has won a Nobel Prize for her peaceful solution in the decade-long war between two neighboring countries in Asia. She is not just a diplomat but also a wise politician. She knows the political machinery of those two countries in intricate detail and can communicate effectively with their leaders. How does she do this? it's all due to her outstanding skill in critical thinking.

Sydney is one of the most neutral people I've ever met. She doesn't seem to have any bias, preference or discrimination against any person or idea. She approaches every question with an open mind. Sometimes, the answer to a question can be dictated on how you perceive the question itself. If you involve emotions or pre-conceived notions in addressing issues, you ultimately influence your decision. Another quality of Sydney is her ability to gather relevant information that she uses as the basis for her decisions. For her, it's always better to decide when you have a lot of facts. That way, you can reasonably analyze and make judgments more accurately. Another of her most important qualities is her creativity. Politics is not an exact science, and you can easily misinterpret facts and easily make erroneous conclusions. In addition to this, political issues don't always have clear-cut solutions. Sometimes they don't seem to have any solution at all. Sydney tries to think out-of-the-box by considering alternatives that are not conventional. Lastly, Sydney is not just an accomplished thinker but also an effective diplomat. She has the skill to communicate her ideas effectively so that others can easily understand them. Some other diplomats tried to reconcile those two countries but failed even though they had good solutions. Their failure was in communicating with the leader of one side or both. Sydney succeeded in this aspect.
