Rashmi Bansal
“Of all the questions we leave unanswered the one that comes back to haunt us the most is: 'What if…'
What if I'd married my college sweetheart
What if I had the good sense not to?
What if I had been born in this job market?
What if...
What if I'd planned a little less?
What if I'd lived a little more?
What if I'd chucked it all and started my own company?
'What ifs' are never idle fantasy. These are our hopes, dreams and desires.
Logic and reason are the naphthalene balls we use to pack them away into a sandook called 'Someday'. But when that day comes we are too old, too poor, too tired or too lazy.”
Rashmi Bansal, Stay Hungry Stay Foolish

“what would the masters do?

when people arn’t successful, they sometimes wonder, why not? they get answers, then they wonder why those answers don’t seem to meet their needs. they get the wrong answers, and they get upset about it. perhaps they’re really getting the right answers, but answering the wrong questions.

too many people ask nothing but “Why” questions.
they analyze and analyse problems - but no solution. “you can analyse a glass of water and you’re left with a lot of chemical components, but nothing you can drink”.

“Why?” questions can drive us crazy. “What?” questions drive us sane.

What questions lead us to practical solutions.”
Peter McWilliams

Lionel Suggs
“At the fruit of existence, there is a single concept of anonymity. This unknown concept is well known however. All one has to do is simply look behind the mirror for the answer. Yet, the answer won't come until the right question is asked. Because the illusions of reality are dressed in endless reflections, the blind will continue to be guided by the blind. The unknown concept is recognized to those who have tasted the fruit of existence, and as distant as the woman trying to grab Heaven from the reflection of an empty pond.”
Lionel Suggs

“The paradox of questioning is that simple questions can lead to detailed, on-target answers, but complicated questions get you single-word answers from a subject who doesn’t want to talk, and unrestrained answers from a person who does.”
James Pyle, Find Out Anything From Anyone, Anytime: Secrets of Calculated Questioning From a Veteran Interrogator

Alan Cohen

“I have this clutter of questions all churned together in my mind and they won't stop churning. I've found out too much and not enough. there are too many pieces that could go together too many ways and I can't stop shifting them around. There has to be some way it all makes sense and it doesn't yet."

"You're asking a lot of life if you want it to make sense."

Most of the time, Joliffe was of the same opinion, but he shook his head against it now like against a fly's buzz and said nothing, frowning at the pen he was still twirling.

Basset watched him a moment, then said,
"Well, if you can't let it go, go at it as if you were trying to make a story of all these pieces you have. Shift them around and fill the gaps until they make the sense you want.”
Margaret Frazer, A Play of Dux Moraud
