Revolutionary Ideas Start with Ridiculous Questions

This idea comes from an article I found on the web

Revolutionary Ideas come from Ridiculous Questions

Some of the questions the author points out:

What if I met everyone with my same name?
What if I said "Yes!" to everything?
What if everyone in Seattle read the same book?

Now these are just three, but the stories behind these questions reveal how just taking a few moments to consider a unique question is enough to generate a whole new way to make a living. The mind is a terrible thing to waste... yet we spend most of our time running on the proverbial treadmill chasing fiat paper money to turn around and give it right back and start the process over again... endlessly.

My challenge to you is to stop running and start thinking. And the best way to start is to ask a question that really makes you think or wonder. That gets you excited to find out! There are so many things to question. Sometimes the treasure you've been seeking might be right under your own nose.





The treasure is right in front of them. Yet the collective attitude keeps them from even considering trying. Just because something has always done one way, doesn't mean it's the best. Look around... look at your own daily life... why do you do the things you do? Why do other people do things the way they do? And what if you changed doing something you've always done or didn't do it at all?

The questions that one could come up with might seem to be endless... but once one starts getting in the habit of asking themselves questions about the actions they are taking the more potential opportunities arise.

‘There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men, who talk in a road, according to the notions they have borrowed and the prejudices of their education.’ — John Locke

‘Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.’ — Ralph Gerard

‘Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.’ — Niels Bohr

Here's just one example of asking questions in a business model: Getting Real.
