What Do You Wonder?

Do you raise questions at work?  “How curious are you anyway?” Questions spark the brain for change … and get you past complaints and into new potential for improvement. They also spice your day with a dash of creativity …. learning.jpg
    
Do you sense any wonder out there today… the kind of curiosity that nudged Albert Einstein to ask: “What would a light bulb look like to someone keeping pace with it?” Good thing he didn’t wait for appreciation for interests he followed...even Einstein’s grade eight teacher called him a bonehead. 
    
Fred Smith, founder of Federal Express asked, “Why can’t there be reliable overnight mail service?” Few out there may value your  responses at first…  Fred proposed his idea for a federal express in a paper at Yale and got a C. Makes a person wonder about schools’ penchant for the curious mind…but that’s another post…. 

     What would happen if you began your workday with Einstein's or Fred's notion of, “What if… ?” It might be the entry point to those results that frequently surprise the most successful.
     To question means to seek – the root word is the same as the word for quest. Good questions are useful guides to our inner and external worlds mainly because they generate action.
     Eleanor Roosevelt put it this way: “I could not, at any age, be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.  Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive.  The fatal thing is the rejection of curiosity. One must never, for whatever reason, turn her back on life.”
     How could business improve for you today, if you started with the question …What if….?
