The right questions can lead you to the right answers.
New beginnings take place constantly. When you thread them together, you get a lasting experience.
I started my 100-day countdown on Sunday, May 28, 2017, a new beginning, to a new beginning, that will culminate on Monday, September 4, 2017; the launch of my website, which includes videos, ebook, blogs and more.
I am a process oriented person who believes strongly in the fact that only humans tell stories. It then makes sense that I will transmit the narrative of this exciting process as the days progress.
This is a perfect example of the process; I can countdown my progress.
30 days to go: Wednesday, August 5, 2017.
I was inspired by the current series of posts being written by Renée 🐝 Cormier and Graham🐝 Edwards, Questions to Help You Mind Your Business…
In it, they ask: “Do you think people ask themselves the right questions to increase their chances of success?”
For any process, personal or professional, questions are a must and what Renee and Graham are underscoring is that it’s not just the question, but the right one, which is important.
What makes a question right?What I am attempting to show in the above is that by using the what, when, where, who, why and how words to ask the question, it allows you to form the right question. By forming the question in this way, it opens up possibilities; you can ask the same question with each word (as shown above), or transform an existing question not using one of these words. For example, if I ask myself; “Should I be looking for a new job?”, it doesn’t provide as much opportunity to come up with the right answer, as compared to asking the question in this way:
When is a question right?
Where does the right question come from?
Who can say whether the question is right or wrong?
Why is the question being asked?
How does this question make a difference?
Why would I want to be looking for a new job?
What makes this current job problematic?
Where would I rather be working?
When would be the opportune time for me to make a move?
Who do I trust to approach for help?
How do I look for other opportunities while I continue to work here?
Another aspect of asking the questions is timing: which of the “Big 6” needs to be answered first? So, pause and think, take the time to prioritize and then go through this process of asking the question.
Of course, Socrates and Aristotle used questions to teach and learn. Einstein said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning." Let the right questions lead you to the right answers.

You're question made me stop and think Debasish Majumder. I see it from 2 perspectives. One, developmentally when children start asking "what's that" and "why", there's a purity of it all; sheer curiosity and wonder. Then, the external conditions you mention, set in and questions become tangled up with fear. You made me think of the shadow side to questions. Thank you for your thought provoking comment and contribution.

Interesting connections Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee, both metaphorically speaking and from a sensory point of view. I see a connection between the process you write about in Sensing Differences, https://www.bebee.com/producer/@ali-anani/sensing-differences#c11, and the process of asking the questions. Thank you for your response and share.
