The Hidden Power of Questions
It has been said that questions are the lasers that will eliminate the barriers to your success. Consistent and purposeful asking of quality questions will enable you to break through almost any obstacle or challenge confronting you. In fact, the only difference between highly successful people and the unsuccessful ones is essentially the type of questions they ask.
Businesses often succeed or fail based on the quality of the questions their decision-makers ask. A problem only exists for as long as you do not know the question. Once you have asked the right question, the solution will present itself. During the early years of the automobile, hundreds of people thought about building them. It was however Henry Ford who asked, “How can I mass-produce this machine and make it affordable for everyone?” This single quality question of his gave him the quality answer he needed. And, the rest is history.
“Our brain is a phenomenal machine. Even up to now, scientists are still discovering its immense power. Our ability, or our lack of ability, to tap on this power is a result of our inability to ask the right questions.”
