At home or at work, who is the person to whom you’re most likely to turn when you need practical answers or solutions?
You may not be conscious of it, but the person you turn to would almost never be an individual who gets lost in intellectual analyses.
If you need a speedy, real-world solution, you would seek out an individual adept at sifting through the noise, cutting to the chase, and helping you pinpoint an answer that’s both realistic and workable.
In other words, you would seek an individual who sees the world in a way most people don’t.
Isn’t that true?
Now, ask yourself this:
How does one become such a person — the type of individual whom others seek out whenever they need realistic, practical answers?
You can’t become such a person by learning and memorizing all the possible answers in the world. There are just too many answers for even a thousand individuals to memorize in a thousand lifetimes.
The only way to become such a person is to learn to ask yourself the right questions.
The whole world is learning answers. But to become wise — that rare individual adept at cutting to the chase — you must learn to ask yourself the right questions.
