What Creates Inspiration?

Light Bulb

I think that the answer lies in the question. If we believe that necessity is the mother of invention, then how do you get to the invention? You ask a question of how something could be better, don’t you?

And if I were to state something ridiculous like comments are the equivalent of “verse” within the blog world and should hence forth be termed the verse of the blogiverse, I’m sure that a number of different people would question my statement, depending on what their opinion was on the meaning of the word “verse”.

Here’s another question. If what I say is true, what evokes more questions, someone asking a question of you or someone making a sweeping statement?

GO TO THE GYM! Is this positive or negative?

What will I get if I go to the gym? Is this positive or negative?

For me the first statement gets my back up, the second gets me inspired to think about what I could be.

“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

“Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.” - Tony Robbins.

How could what I’ve written apply to your life?

Hi Rednose,

I love this quote:
“Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

It is one of my favorites.
Frankly speaking, I only started to do pretty well in life when I begin to ask a lot of questions - no matter whether the question sound stupid or not. Of course, eventually as the time goes, I begin to ask better questions. But I believe one mustn’t stop asking questions! There is power in asking questions.

Best Wishes
Sam Chan
