Have you ever wonder whether the power of questions can help you settle your challenges in life? If you have read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad before, you will know that it is important that we should ask quality questions through our mind in order to get quality answers and results. Rich Dad has taught us that when you desire something that is out of your current reach such as a beautiful bunglow along the beach or something super expensive, you should not be thinking or saying “I can’t afford it” as this closes your mind from going through the thinking process. However, you should be asking yourself “How can I afford it?” as asking this question allows your mind to think through and usually lots of ideas will be generated for you in your mind.
Some of you may be thinking even if you ask yourself questions, there is still a very low possiblity that you might achieve your dream or get what you want in life. Let me ask you a question, what is the possiblities of getting what you want if you has the following thought process in your mind: “I can’t afford it”? I can tell you the answer is a definite zero as your brain has closes itself without even have a chance to help you find a solution.
Personally, I have an experience during my work that really amazed me about this theory of asking questions. One of my ex colleagues needed my help to get a song out from a DVD rom which she needed to burn into a cd for her class but my first initial thought was I couldn’t get the song out of the disc as its a DVD. I asked her if she has the title of the song, I could find it online for her instead but she told me it’s a kids variety show song so she didn’t know the title at all. However, she highlighted to me that someone else had managed to retrieve a song from a DVD for her before so she thought I would be able to do it for her too. To cut long story short, I went to do some research online and found there’s actually ways to retrieve the songs from DVD.
This personal experience taught me that nothing is impossible and we should not give any problems we face a definite NO when we do not know the answer. If we actually put on our thinking cap and think through by asking ourself quality questions, we should be able to find a quality answer towards our questions we have in life. Remember never say die until you have really tried all kinds of ways in trying to solve your problems by asking questions in your mind. Just imagine, if the wright brothers were not asking the questions of whether can we human fly like a bird. Do you think that we will have aeroplanes now?
