The final element of effective thinking is change. We can always change, grow, or adapt our thinking. We can consider new issues and go deeper in†them or take issues we understand and understand the history that led to them. We can experiment, put out fires, and examine ignition points. We can practice asking questions of each new project and person we meet. We can look for the history of ideas and try to anticipate the future. Each of these actions is an effective form of thinking.
