Never believe that you are always right, and always keep an open mind. (People say they are open minded, but it's rarely the case.) Realize your biases (no one is without them) and adjust accordingly. Never stop learning. Learn from EVERYONE. Critical and logical thinking requires organization and practice. Meaningful pros (and posts) require critical and logical thinking. Technical writing is a skill, but you don't need to be technical, just objectively definitive (no beating around the bush).
Well, those are some of the words I live by that are pertinent to your query. My thought life is very important to me, and it spills over into everything I do. It's a lot more than just stopping to smell the roses. But even if people were to only smell the roses, the world would be a lot better place.
I'll get off my sagebox now.... I mean soapbox.
