The Right Questions

Written by: Alex Merricks

Wisdom carries with it a factor that most of us haven’t seen. We watch the wise men of the world and say to ourselves, these men have incredible lengths of knowledge. They have a knowing about life that goes beyond the normal limits.

The wise man is usually known as a teacher. The wise man usually has students. Take a closer look here. Here is the thing that separates the wise man from the dumb man. The wise man never stops asking questions. It doesn’t matter who the problems are posed to, they are continually posed. This allows the wise man to continue to accumulate knowledge, in the physical universe or by use of imagination, applicable and theoretical. The wise man never stops inquiring about life.

The ignorant man stops asking questions. He simply makes statements and assumes them to be true. He keeps answers in mind, that have long since passed and even though the development of better answers have come, because he stop inquiring, he never sees the workability in the answers.

This answers many problems to existence. Have you ever shared knowledge with someone who wondered why things keep happening to him, and he still doesn’t get what you were saying. You may give the best solution to his problem, but he still doesn’t hear it or see it. Has this ever bewildered you?

Well do not sit in confusion any longer. The person who is sitting in problems cannot see your answers because they are asking the wrong questions.

They say “Why?” and you sit and start to compute why it is this or that, or maybe you do the workable thing and start to compute “How” they can do something about it. Interesting!

Why Me? Why did this happen? Why are you doing that? etc…

This is the wrong question.

“How” is usually a great way to start a question since this word means, in what way or to find the way or manner in which something happens or is done.

This is how you solve something. Using the imagination, you combine past data with present data and formulate a workable method of execution to resolve a problem.

Too Simple.

When you ask “why,” you combine a lot of data, but the reasons are almost always useless when looking for application data. Reason may bring some relief, but won’t change the situation. That is where we look at the intelligent man, and the unintelligent man. One has reasons for everything being the way it is, while one has ways to do things and get jobs well done.

Reason may bring some relief, but won’t change the situation. That is where we look at the intelligent man, and the unintelligent man. One has reasons for everything being the way it is, while one has ways to do things and get jobs well done.

Who do you want on your team? The wise man never stops being aware of new ways and methods to do things or get things done. The ignorant man never stops holding on to the reasons for why he couldn’t get something done, or why he is in the condition he is in.

I’ll take the wise man, the man who ask himself the right questions and that man who never stops asking the right questions. He is the problem solver and he is the bright one.

If you find yourself sitting down, contemplating on why is life this way or that way, STOP immediately!!!

Find out how you can improve conditions now to bring about your ideal scene. Don’t lie to yourself either. You will spot yourself lying, when you have to find reasons why things are okay. If things are really okay, you don’t need any reasons.

Enjoy your day.

    Very true, weak questions are disempowering. They keep you focused on your own ego, your problems, and your shortcomings. Weak questions keep you focused on what’s wrong… on what isn’t working. That might seem like a good idea, but all it does is further reinforce the situation you’d like to change. Been there, done that!Weak questions will lead your brain into chaos!!!!

    When I didn’t like the results I was getting, not only did I start asking different questions - I started asking different people the questions! That made a huge difference!!! I turned my focus towards my goals instead of away from them. And I ask questions that enhance my life instead of create DRAMA. ((My word for the day!!!))

    Heavy.
    Asking why no why not. I knew the answer long before I lost my job. Moving on is a hard pill to take sometimes, but my intelligence tells me I’m already on the journey I was meant to be on.

  3. The day we stop intaking knowledge is the day we die. This doesn’t happen only in the form of school, but books, conversation, interpersonal experiences, history, media, and etc. Knowledge can often provide us answers to situations that we may be faced with in life. The curious person is the one who will get far in life. If you don’t understand something or someone question it. Our knowledge is the one thing that no one can take away from us and in my experience it’s a powerful tool. Keep on learning and spread the knowledge. This world we live in definitely can benefit from it!

    A MOM—-since you got laid off I know you got unemployment right? Girl, I would enjoy the extended vacation for a while (If you are financially able to) and take some classes or move—-that’s when I moved and my weekly Cali checks of $1000 were like a month’s salary out here. The cost of living is ridiculously lower!! Just putting it out there! I would love to have you as my neighbor!!! ((smile))

    Yes, ask questions. right questions. i, personally, always ask questions. questions do lead to answers, and if not answers, then better questions that will eventually lead to a better answer. Quid pro quo. Man’s way to knowledge.
