You can’t learn unless you ask questions.
A few weeks ago, I read “Do Fish Drink Water“, a book of the best questions asked of Bill Mclain (Internet Answer Whiz). The questions cover all walks of life, and some of them are just downright strange. It was extremely interesting to learn the answers to some very obscure questions – and stirred my desire to discover more question filled books. I was recommended “What the Dog Saw” by Malcom Gladwell, and while it isn’t technically a question book, it is full of questions anyway. It is a collection of his top articles from The New Yorker – covering interesting people like Cesar Milan (the dog whisperer) and Ron Popeil (the king of the American kitchen). Each article is created because Gladwell asks a lot of questions: How do things work, why does it work that way, what happened when, etc.. While every article has a different main focus, the questions take center stage. Both Gladwell and McLain have an insatiable desire to learn more about the world around them, which makes them better writers, better listeners and definitely a more knowledgeable humans…Which leads me to today’s post:
I want to know what you’ve always wanted to know! What questions nag in the back of your mind? What have you always wondered about and wanted to know? Share your questions about the world, and I will find you an answer and respond in the comments.
If there is something that requires more explanation, or I just love the question, I may turn it into future blog posts!
