How can you be a good thinker? Well, it doesn't happen by accident.

You need to make an argument that is good, valid (following the rules of logic) and soun (with truthful premises).

You can do it starting with more specific thinks and work to general conclusions (inductive reasoning) or work from the general claims to the specific (deductive reasoning).

Be aware of fallacies! There are many fallacies that are spewed out by the world (and sometimes by our own lips, yikes).
