Question the Question

John Kotter, A professor at Harvard Business School, Studied the   1974      batch Students. He observed their life and achievements for 20 Years. All of them were driven by motivation to succeed. And invariably they have reached financially successful state of life. Then He noticed that 5% of the students were Super Successful. Their achievements were extraordinary, not only in their financial status, but also with their relationship-family, friends, relatives...

He wanted to find out what made them so extraordinary? All students were bright, had good background, and driven by the high need for achievement, then what made only few of them to be super Successful? When he studied them more closely, he found two characteristics which distinguished them from the rest:

1. Self- belief: they strongly believed in themselves and what they want is within their reach. They had dreams and they firmly believed that they would achieve them.

2. They constantly asked questions, no matter who is the other person - boss, son, subordinate, wife...       they continued to remain curious. Their education had not stopped with Harvard degree; they continued to learn things with a childlike enthusiasm. Not satisfied with the accepted answer, they asked questions tirelessly.

The another word for living dangerously is asking questions with the desire to find answer, then question the answer to reach the higher level of understanding. The art of asking question is a journey, it never ends. Conclusions and answers are destination, if you are happy with the answer, your journey is over and destination is reached. The story is over. If you are not happy with the answer yet settled with that answer, then also you have reached the end, certainly it is a sad end. What to do, we need tragic stories too to entertain our mind.
