Let’s question
To ask the right question is already half the solution of a problem.
We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.
Intuition is the art of listening, with an inner ear, to the rhythms and melodies of your own “body music.”
Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort.
The moment you say “I know everything” is the end of your growth.
One reason children are capable of joy is because they take almost nothing for granted.
You can increase your problem-solving skills by honing your question-asking ability.
In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn.
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.
If you can’t learn, you can’t thrive.
Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.
When we hear a fact, a few isolated areas of our brain light up, translating words and meanings. When we hear a story, however, our brain lights up like Las Vegas, tracing the chains of cause, effect, and meaning. Stories are not just stories; they are the best invention ever created for delivering mental models that drive behavior.
What is the why behind everything you do?
Every problem is a question trying to be asked. Every question is an answer seeking to be revealed.
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
When intelligent people read, they ask themselves a simple question: What do I plan to do with this information?
Answering does not only measure what you remember, it increases overall retention.
When we start a new task, or confront an unpleasant chore, we should take a moment to ask ourselves "why."
Intuition is the result of nonconscious pattern recognition.
You can’t be content with mastery; you have to push yourself to become a student again.
Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep on going.
Your brain craves patterns and searches for them endlessly.
Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else--that's how you'll get ahead.
If you don’t know what you are doing wrong, you can never know what you are doing right.
If you don’t evaluate yourself, how in the heck are you ever going to know what you are doing well and what you need to improve?
If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.
In every situation, life is asking us a question, and our actions are the answer.
You can’t find the answer, it is often because you are not asking the correct question.
If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself.
Absorb knowledge from every possible source and opportunity. Power gravitates to the man who knows how and why.
For me the most potent motivational fuel was not ambition, I think, but curiosity. I wanted to see how far I could go.
One of the best questions you can ask when something negative happens is this: What does this experience make possible?
You see, we are so afraid to fail, to make mistakes, not only in examinations but in life. To make a mistake is considered terrible because we will be criticized for it, somebody will scold us. But, after all, why should you not make a mistake? Are not all the people in the world making mistakes? And would the world cease to be in this horrible mess if you were never to make a mistake? If you are afraid of making mistakes you will never learn. The older people are making mistakes all the time, but they don’t want you to make mistakes, and thereby they smother your initiative. Why? Because they are afraid that by observing and questioning everything, by experimenting and making mistakes you may find out something for yourself and break away from the authority of your parents, of society, of tradition. That is why the ideal of success is held up for you to follow; and success, you will notice, is always in terms of respectability.
Die young as late as possible.
In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.
Freedom is obedience to self-formulated rules.
