The Power of Questions
WHAT YOU DO WITH QUESTIONS…
1. CHANGE THE SUBJECT
2. LEAVE IT TO MYSTERY
3. PICK AN ANSWER
4. SEEK THE ANSWER
The art of questioning
“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” Loyd Alexander
“No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.” (George Bernard Shaw)
“He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever” (chinese proverb)
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers. (John Plomp)
Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt. (Paul Tillich)
To be on a quest is nothing more or less than to become an asker of questions. (Sam Keen)
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. (Thomas Jefferson)
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing (Albert Einstein)
Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new. (Og Mandino)
A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers new ideas and insights. (Brian Tracy)
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions. (Anthony Jay)
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry. (Thomas Paine)
The wise man questions the wisdom of others because he questions his own, the foolish man, because it is different from his own (Leo Stein)
No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions. (Charles Steinmetz)
LEARNING FROM SIMON-PETER…
1. THERE’S VALUE IN ASKING QUESTIONS
HOW MANY TIMES?
END OF THE AGE?
2. THERE’S VALUE IN BEING ASKED QUESTIONS
YOU ARE THE CHRIST!
NO I AM NOT!
3. THERE’S VALUE IN NOT ANSWERING
PAY THE TEMPLE TAX?
COULDN’T YOU STAY AWAKE?
