Life is a game of chess. How do you master the art of thinking ahead?
Linear thinking falls short. Anyone can solve the immediate problem.
Like the decision to throw a rock into a lake: the first splash is a 1st-order effect
The ripples are the 2nd, 3rd, Nth-order effects ๐
โ๏ธ Higher-order thinking is a cheat code for life.
Start with the "and then what?" method after each decision or action you consider.
Keep asking questions, go deeper, explore the rabbit hole beyond immediate outcomes!
Think on a higher level. ๐๏ธ Plan accordingly.
๐ฎ The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Imagine various outcomes. Learn from history.
Practice challenging assumptions and exploring different perspectives.
Higher thinking = cultivating curiosity for how every decision can have a chain reaction of effects.
๐ Master the art of thinking ahead by asking "and then what?" and following the possible chain reactions of effects for your decision.
