Think for yourself.

This principle is about questioning everything, and looking at everything from every possible angle. To examine all other points of view, etc., and keep looking for new ways to observe and new perspectives. Not what many people do when they claim to be thinking for themselves, and just are echoing things they are told. Sometimes under the guise of thinking for yourself, people are brainwashed into things, and I am referring to really thinking for ones' self.

One technique I use, is word substitution. So, when I have a sentence that describes a situation, I'll change words around. For example, I can take a sentence and change "I" to "we" or "you". I substitute "a country" for "Egypt" or "the united states of america".
