“The answers have become so easy, and so readily available that I think we now have too much emphasis on answers and not enough on questions.” ~ Stuart Firestein

Although, Stupid Questions Really Do Exist

“The person who controls the questions controls the conversation.” ~ J. J. Newberry

Quoted from Janine Driver’s book You Say More Than you Think 

Driver also shares that “What” and “How” Questions are more powerful than “Why” questions in getting people to open up to you. Which made me think of this old lesson about the “Why” being more important for creators than the “What” and “How.” I guess it’s all in what you’re trying to achieve. Which have you found most helpful for what you do: what, how, or why?

“Facts and information are now more accessible than ever. Finding answers is simple. What is hard is asking questions and discerning source credibility, two things we Americans are abysmal at. We are, as the saying goes, drowning in information while starving for knowledge.” ~ Ben Ponder

“Training is about answers, about how to do it, and education is about questions, about why to do it.” ~ Ben Ponder
