3- Today, we will focus on another essential skill- Problem Solving. Problem solving is sort of connected with Critical Thinking, but it is still quite different. I will explain it and show you how you can develop this skill from campus.

4- A problem is simply something difficult to solve. You know the solution, but its difficult to get it solved. This skill is different from critical thinking in that CT helps you when there is no apparent solution or you need a easier way.

5- While Problem Solving keeps you going when you have no choice than to go through the long process of solving a particular thing. CT makes you creative. PS makes you persistent. Both are behavioral skills that can be learned.

9- Brilliance, on the other hand is the brain's library. It's like GIGO. You need to read before you can be termed brilliant. Reading fuels brilliance. So an intelligent person needs to feed his intelligence with reading.

10- In this context, I will liken Intelligence to Critical Thinking and Brilliance to Problem Solving. CT will make you ready to take on any challenge, but problem solving gives you the information you need to be use your CT ability.
