More on Questions..

Questions – it’s becoming a bit of a theme . Perhaps I should actually write something that helps people rather than point them somewhere else? But then that would be encouraging answers rather than questions .

Adrian Savage in his Breakthrough Manifest (Part 2) highlights the important of questions with these two encouragements:

• Forget looking for answers. Questions are so much more useful. Questions lure you on, poke and prod you to discover more. Questions are like bits of grit in a bed: they stop you from resting comfortably with what you think you already know. Answers are a dead end. If you know the answer, there’s nowhere else to go.   
• Become a specialist in asking stupid questions. They’re the very best ones. Worry about the answer, not the question. Lots of people never get beyond an initial state of confusion because they’re afraid to ask what seems to be a foolish question. Innocent people with a true desire to learn have the greatest chance of spectacular success. Who learns best and fastest? Little children. Your target must be to go through life learning at the same rate as an infant.  

There’s more great stuff over there so go and have a look.
