Separate facts from assumptions and develop your own approach that is fresh and new.

Doubt others’ vague reasoning and foggy assumptions to encash on their shallow understanding.

End the problem’s deadlock by cutting out the unnecessary layers that are making it complicated.

Remove unwanted information and separate signal from noise to get your clear thinking mode activated.

Focus on the fundamentals and construct your reasoning from them without resorting to shortcuts.

Start with what is true and ignore borrowed beliefs to get to solutions that are clear-cut.
