“You see, but you do not observe,” the great literary detective Sherlock Holmes once said. Being observant means watching everything around you (people, situations, events, etc.) and then thinking critically about what you’ve just seen.

Observation skills are very important in our everyday lives as they enhance our ability to interact with others and to respond to the world in an appropriate manner.

Solving riddles and picture puzzles is a great way to give your brain the exercise it needs. Brain games like sudoku, chess, and scrabble can help improve your critical thinking skills, sharpen your memory, and boost your productivity in life.
