Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine, once said: “You won't invent an answer. You will only get it by asking the right questions. "
For a long time I could not understand what it means - correct, until I read about the invention of coronary stenting. A stent is a small stainless steel tube that is placed inside an artery for constant blood flow. The first stents were unsuccessful, and many medical technicians around the world were struggling with the question "How can we make the best stent?" An understanding came to Dr. William Hunters when he changed the question: "What processes occur in the body with these stents and why are they unsuccessful?" The answer to this question helped to make a discovery.
Usually, when I had a problem, I asked myself: "how?":
- How can I change my life / work / environment / habit?
- How can I make it so that I can earn more?
- How do I start exercising / going to the gym / swimming?
- How can I lose weight?
- How to sell a book?
- How to learn a foreign language in three months?
Issues were either resolved, but very slowly, or were not resolved at all. When I began to become like Dr. Hunters, things went faster. And I understood why.
When we ask the question "how", we rely on our existing knowledge and assumptions. For example, I might ask, "How can I make my work more fulfilling?" This question will not help me very much, because I will begin to reflect on the things that I have always known: what I like or dislike, what I know, what experiences and opportunities I have come across before.
When investigating a problem, it makes sense to ask yourself "what" or "which". Questions "what" and "which" (which, which) help us to go beyond our limitations, the current situation and consider other choices. For example:
- What five new things can I start to make my life meaningful?
- What if I was 10 years younger (20, 30)? What could I do now?
- What are three things I can do to look 10 years younger?
- What new habit can I replace smoking / overeating / networking?
- What is the best method for learning English quickly?
Good question why. It helps us recognize hidden self-restraints. But you should not abuse it: “why” is a question of the reason, the awareness of the reason can drive you into a state of guilt, the feeling of guilt of the unprepared again leads to a dead end. And there, not far away and smash his forehead, repeating "why, why, why."
- Why do I hate my job?
- Why am I afraid to take risks?
- Why do I think I'm not ready to do this?
- Why am I wasting my time on trifles?
- Why am I constantly late?
- Why am I afraid to change my life?
And the most royal question is
That's where the depths are! From here we can dance like a stove, learn about our hidden limitations and unsuspected capabilities, come close to the reasons for our stagnation and move on to the resource state in order to find answers to creative questions “what” and “what”.
- For what good do I need to spend my time on unimportant and unnecessary things?
- Why am I spending a lot of time shopping?
- What good do I eat late at night on rolls, cakes and cookies?
- What good do I smoke my hundred thousandth cigarette?
- For what good am I doing work that I don't like?
- What good is it for me to communicate with people from whom I gather only negativity?
- For what good am I offended by the smallest trifle?
