Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Quality Questions "

No one ever has all the answers. However, people who ask good questions are

the ones who interest me. Albert Einstein once said that, " The important

thing is not to stop questioning. " His words emphasize something I believe

to be extremely important: It's not so much the answers you already have,

but rather the quality of the questions you ask that determines the

direction of your life.

For example, what sort of questions do you ask when calamity strikes? Do you

ask, " Why me, Lord? " or " What's the use of living if this is what happens? "

Or, do you ask questions like, " How can I use this to learn and grow, maybe

even to help others? "

What kind of questions do you ask your kids? Do you say, " What's the matter

with you? " " Why are you so stupid, or lazy or mean? " Or, do you ask, " What

are you looking forward to? " or " How will you show your teacher how smart

you are? "

When it comes to your relationships, do you ask questions that can be

answered with just " yes " or " no " or do you ask open-ended questions that

encourage people to tell you more about themselves? And finally, what kind

of questions do you ask yourself? Do you say, " How am I going to get through

the day? " or " What can I do to make today really great? "

Do you ask, " what if " questions that help you explore possibilities? How

about questions that encourage you to think about the purpose of your life

and your reasons for doing what you are doing? Change the quality of the

questions you ask, and you will be changing the focus of your attention.

Change the focus of your attention, and you will change the results you get.

Go ahead. Try it and see.
