A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do．Whenever he needs to do something，he would，first of all，reason．He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it．Then，analyze．He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it．After that，evaluate．He makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well．Finally，he makes the decision and takes action．Take the"Double 11"（a popular online shopping day in China）as an example．A few days before it，he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them，and makes a shopping list．He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy．He compares the shops that sell these things．
Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them．Although it takes him some time to make the decisions，he would not regret after the shopping．
Then what would happen if he didn't think critically before he made the decisions？After the crazy"Double 11"，there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet．There were regrets about buying more things than they needed．There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they
bought．There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing．There were all kinds of regrets and complaints．Why so？They had not thought critically before they made the decisions．
