Mindset Shift – Your Lifetime Skill Card #59

Today we look at #StretchingIntelligence…

…weighing #QualityOfAnswers and #QualityOfQuestions.

Quality of answers makes you go: “This solution has long-term, holistic impact…”

Imagine the results: The library’s wisdom in your head, your senses grasping all contexts and nuances, all manners of scenarios plotted, you answer with precision. The best of which no one has ever seen, your mark goes viral, yielding favour with all who savour it, even silencing critics in time. But as the world changes, you witness your answer’s validity being challenged, what once a gift now a mere box, limiting your exploration of the vast mysteries the universe has yet to offer.

Quality of questions makes you go: “What if this was to happen next?”

Imagine the results: As answers are limited by their questions, you realise there is more beyond to explore. Your intellect now guides you to question, dissecting the definitions of truth and fact. Venturing into unchartered regions, of outer or inner space, you uncover new forms of matter, new perspectives of our existence. Spearheading enlightenment through paradigm shifts, your questioning raises better answers, resolving countless problems humanity suffers from daily. ?

Simple thoughts like these can create a world of difference, a different timeline.?

I used to go straight for the model answer, the buzzwords. Neither thinking of questioning their validity, nor understanding the rationale behind their existence, I ended up a blind parrot, thinking only in black and white.

By choosing to study the times behind established facts, even the lies that humans sow throughout history, I could develop discernment to see past black and white, to see the grey nuances within. From the forgotten to the undiscovered, from the happened to the not-yet-happened, curious questions enriched my steps, leading to answers that created more opportunity for the unknown future.

“In the old economy, it was all about having the answers. But in today’s dynamic, lean economy, it's more about asking the right questions. A more beautiful question is about figuring out how to ask, and answer, the questions that can lead to new opportunities and growth.” – Eric Ries
