Asking questions unlocks possibilities that we might not know are there if we insist on thinking we know the answers. The quote “an inquisitive mind is a growing mind” came to me as I was engaged in a discussion about the human experience with a very intelligent high schooler who is thoroughly engrossed by the Star Wars saga. This blog is inspired by that conversation.
For some asking questions poses a unique challenge that I’d very much like to understand. It’s fascinating being on the other side of the spectrum, where I love asking questions. Everytime I ask a question I feel as though my brain is gaining a new level of understanding. Regardless of the field or topic the incoming information is exhilerating.
If you’re one of those individuals that provides nothing but answers, and scarcely asks questions. Do you know why you communicate in this way? Do you find it challenging to formulate questions?
I
love science because it’s the world of questions, and seeking to find answers, which leads to more questions. As I sit here staring at the screen, I’m questioning how can I get you to engage in this dialogue. If you make a statement or ask a question you’re partaking in this community. What did I do this specific time that inspired you to interact? I want to learn so that I can repeat it.
This will be my last blog of 2017. I will see you all in 2018 with more questions and insights. What are you creating for yourself and your life in 2018? It’s going to be a beautiful year.
Reblogged this on DL Fowler's Blog and commented:
This blog article appeared the same day as an article on LinkedIn about “emotional leadership.” Both authors address the importance of communicating with questions. I think these articles resonate with me because I’ve often noticed that the smartest person in a room is the one with the most questions. In fact, Einstein famously said that he wasn’t smarter than anybody else, but that he was more curious than most. What questions stalk you through your days?

Thank you for reblogging my post. Can you provide the link for the “emotional leadership article”? I’d love to read it. A question that stalks me through out the day is; what are the stories of others lives that have formed that methods of processing emotions? I think I can word that more succinctly, but that is what’s coming to mind at the moment. I love this question, because every answer will be unique.
