1. The Open and Analytical Philosophy
In thisdayand age,the rapidadvancementsinproductivityof the internet,
social networking,andinformationtechnologyhave allowedmankindto
accomplish more ina single daythanit evercouldina year of the recent
past.However,the accessto a macrocosmicdigital worldof informationat

towardssomethingwe justdon'tunderstand.What'sbeingintroduced isamore
critical wayof thinkingthatcan be implementeduniversallyandcanhelp
societyonearthbecome closer,more understanding,more intelligent,andmore
versatile thaniteverhasbeenbefore.Thisisall possible if you,asan

leniencyinlearningnewthings,andtake the time toanalyze a situationfrom
differentangles.

Insteadof wandering aimlessly,simplystartbyexpandingyourboundariesto
what'saround you,not the far cornersof the earth.Whetheritbe the cultural

refrainfrombeingnarrow-mindedtothe differentlifestylesaroundyou.Even
if you greatlydislike whosomeone isorwhatthey're doing,contemplate asto
whyyou dislikeitandwhyotherscontinue toengage init.Takingthe time to
