The power of asking question

Why asking questions daily is essential for all of us? What is the power of questions?

I have been thinking about those questions for a long time and today I would like to share a great story with you.

During World War Second, there was a man with a farm, a happy family, and children who lived in Krakow. However, this happiness was not long-lasting.

They didn't need justification. They just came because he's of Jewish descent. The Nazis walked into his home and arrested him and all of his family. They were soon ferried, packed into a train, and then sent to a death camp in Krakow. The most upsetting visions had never been able to train him to see the family shot before his very eyes. how could he live with the humiliation of seeing his child's clothes on another because the product of a shower was his son now dead?

Somehow he kept going. He looked at the nightmare around him one day and faced an undeniable truth: if he remained there one more day, he would definitely die. Once he had made his decision, he didn't know how to execute it. He only knew one simple thing: his decision was irrevocable, and, somehow, he had to find a way to act on it. he interrogated his fellow prisoners. "How can we escape this horrible place?" He became a nuisance and irritation. He had been asking the other prisoners for the week, "How can we escape this horrible place?" The answers he received always seemed to be the same: "Don't be a fucking idiot," they said, "there is no way of escaping! trying to ask such questions will only abuse your soul. Just work hard and pray that you survive." But he couldn't accept it-he wouldn't accept it. In addition, he dismissed their answers, their silences, and their overbearing desperation. He said to himself, there has to be away, and I will find it. He became obsessed with escape, and even when his answers did not any make sense, he kept asking over and over again. This is my revenge: I'll prove by surviving that the Nazis aren't invincible and that they don't have complete control over our wills and that they can't do with us what they like. He asked: "How can I do it? There must be away. How can I get out of here healthy, alive, today?"

As the Bible said that, if you ask, you shall receive. And for some reason, on this day he got his answer. Then, one day, as bleak as the other, he 'd seen all along what was before him. The Nazis would let nude men, women, and children 's bodies shot because they were too poor to work in the labor camp, pile up on the ground until a truck would come and take them away. The truck would only arrive with normal productivity when there were enough bodies to fill it up. Hiding behind a hedge, he stripped off all his clothing and then dived into the corpses' heap. He still lied, thinking he was gone, the nauseating scent of death all over him. He stayed for a day in there. More bodies were thrown above him. He flinched not. The truck arrived, at last. His dead body was driven into the truck by rough hands.

Many more hours of terror had passed in the truck. His body was eventually thrown into an open grave. Next to climbing out, he waited until nightfall. The sweet scent of night, the new air, filled his lungs as he raced 25 miles to liberation.

Stanislavsky Lech asked a different question. He asked," How can I use this to escape?" And instantly he got his answer,

Questions are such powerful tools that they can be beneficial—perhaps particularly so—in circumstances when question asking goes against social norms. For instance, prevailing norms tell us that job candidate are expected to answer questions during interviews.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. What was the difference between Stanislavsky Lech and so many others who perished on the concentration camps? There were many factors, however, one critical difference was that he asked a different question. He asked persistently, he asked with the expectation of receiving an answer, and his brain came up with a solution that saved his life.

The questions we ask daily basis determine our future. In every sphere, this powerful tool helps us immediately, In these days, people tend to procrastinate. If we want to break a bad habit or stop procrastinating, we need to ask a true question, There are pain and pleasure techniques that we can use in any field or break any habit that we want.

Pain & Pleasure Technique

All of our behaviors are driven by two things: Pain and Pleasure. In any experience we face, our brain asks consciously or unconsciously these questions: How to avoid the pain and how to get the pleasure I want. We procrastinate not because we are lazy or stuff like that. We procrastinate since our survival mechanism notices the experience we face as painful. As a result, we do not want to do anything like that. We can never forget that everything we do, we do either out of our need to avoid pain or our desire to gain pleasure, and if we associate enough pain to anything, well change. The only reason we have a belief about something is that we have linked massive pain to not believe it or the massive pleasure of keeping it alive.

The most important is that we need to be aware of a habit or habits that are holding us back, After that, we need to associate massive pain to not changing now and massive pleasure to the experience of changing now. You can ask these questions. 1. If I don`t change right now or breaking this habit that is preventing me to achieve anything I want, what will it cost me in the next future or present? I need to mention this, pain is much more powerful than the pleasure in this process. That`s why we need to link massive and excessive pain to the old ones. Following that, you can this question as well. 2. If I change right now or breaking the habit that is holding me back, what will it cost me in the next future or present moment, or what kind of pleasures I will get? However, doing these things are not enough. It has to be constant.
