The planted seed of a question can grow into something really interesting and, perhaps, give food for new thinking.
Have you ever noticed what is the most frequent incentive for serious thinking? Remember that in the last time made you think and activate thought processes? What motivated our ancestors when they invented something, discovered new lands and were in constant search? - Questions.
Nothing stimulates our brain activity and physical activity as much as questions. Moreover, the greater the importance and weight of the issue for a particular person, the further he is able to go in and achieve more on his way. An unobtrusive question can grow into the meaning of life, scale into a resounding challenge, become the property and vector of development of future generations.
In fact, an interesting and important question is easily able to move on actions and changes of any order. You just need to find the right combination of words and the right addressee. Then the planted seed of questioning can grow into something really interesting and, perhaps, give food for new thinking.
Actually, I also started with a question. And what if ... And what if you still take and publish your book? And what if you share your thoughts with others? Simplify the concept, remove abstruse terms, reduce the volume of pages and lines? And in general, to express everything in the language in which I would try to explain it all to my friend.
Then there were long reflections, the struggle with the original format, the choice of the form of publication, resource, audience and, in the end ... Well, you see everything yourself ...
Thus, we once again confirmed the fact that questions have tremendous power and importance in our lives. Fueled by provocative (in the good sense of the word) ideas, reinforced by challenges and inspired by new ideas, they are able to materialize in concrete actions.
And no matter what the results they will lead us. Good intentions and uncharacteristic steps alone form the positive vector of our undertakings. The ancient philosopher said "I think, therefore I exist." Add to these words practical action and get - "I act, it means I not only exist, but also live."
In the age of information technology, asking and receiving answers has become much easier. A smartphone with internet access is always in your pocket, and search engines never hesitate with the options. However, despite the seemingly logical growth of our interest and the expansion of knowledge, for some reason people are more interested in other people's photos and statuses in social networks.
Of course, we can say that they also answer the questions of the order “How is your neighbor doing?”, “What's new with a friend?”, “How much longer can I scroll through posts before the battery sits down?”.
This is a sublimation. Like decaffeinated coffee and non-alcoholic beer. The true essence of the invigorating drink is just in caffeine, and the intoxicating drink should be intoxicated.
Also here, instead of conquering new heights and expanding horizons by searching for answers to the main questions, we are content with tests of social activity with one thumb. Instead of accepting the challenge and acting in the name of dreams and goals, the billions see how units on YouTube and TV do.
Do not forget to ask yourself the right questions. Do not ignore interesting topics, ideas and thoughts that arise in your head and in your heart. Look for answers, ask, think and enjoy not only the result, but also the path to it.
Humility and gray days - today is not news. Ordinary and boredom - have become a habit. And these are not isolated cases, this is a trend of all mankind.
So maybe it's time to change something? Ask yourself. Maybe this very question will become your new positive challenge!
