  1. Thinking Skills: Knowlege is the "knowing that influences our behaviour". To arrive at this "knowing" we need to extract knowledge from information. Our thinking skills are pivotal in being aboe to extract more relevant information quicker than our competitors.

We often require a lot of prior knowledge in order to make sense of new information. To do this we need to be knowledgeable on a variety of relevant, specialised subjects.
