     Critical thinking is an important part of your professional career as well as your life in general

because you have to make decisions in order to be successful. All of us have opinions and ideas

on just about everything and anything. Those views and ideas could be holding you back from

Provide an example from your personal experience of critical thinking applied to a

business decision.

      In the process of buying a house, I have used Critical thinking to evaluate arguments or

propositions and making decisions that facilitated my decision-making progress. Rather fall

to impulse buying any home, I used critical analysis of my needs, my financial situation and

resources necessary in the purchase of my house.  Determining if one can afford the house is

crucial in this process.  Weighing the purchase of the home against other needed items is one

factor that needs to be considered.  Then, determining if the house is appropriate to one's needs is

essential; such things as location, square footage, taxes, schools, future expenses such as repairs,

etc. must be considered. I had to make the right decision, ask the right questions, evaluate

information and come to a trustworthy and dependable conclusion. My awareness of critical

thinking helps me to overcome barriers that prevent me from making unbiased decisions and

make better-informed decisions while searching for a new home that met my requirements.
