50 Thought-Provoking Questions

When you ask questions, you get surprising and surprising results!

One day, the author was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Unfortunately, I asked the not-so-detailed doctor, “What are my options?” and he said a mastectomy was my only option.
After visiting other doctors and asking questions, the author learned about a new treatment at the time and was cured.
In the process, the author realized that questions can save lives.
Additionally, the author confesses that most of the important events that occurred in his life were the result of questions.


Human progress has not been achieved without questions.
Every invention, discovery, or theory is the result of a question that stimulates thought.
"Can't I fly like a bird?", "Why do we live?", "Can't we live more comfortably?", "Is there a way to sell products to customers?" We are surrounded by countless things that would never have seen the light of day if it weren't for the questions that began with simple curiosity.

The author prides himself on knowing more about questions than anyone else, and hopes that through this book, anyone can benefit from the power of questions, just as he has.
It also provides a new perspective by covering in detail the questions that have great power in interpersonal relationships, communication skills, and problem solving.


When you ask questions, you get surprising and surprising results.
Most people don't realize that using questions wisely can greatly improve their lives.
In my youth, I benefited greatly from questions, yet I never really thought much about their power.
Then, as I became more active in my work, I began to realize the tremendous value of questions, not only in the economy but also in all aspects of life.

What and how should we ask?

We ask questions to generate fresher and more original thinking, to understand the situations we face every day more clearly, or to create mental and emotional turning points.


But can everything be solved by simply asking “Why?” or “For what reason?”?

Of course not.
First, you must get rid of the fear of the other person's status, power, and amount of knowledge, and the fear that you might appear ignorant and shabby.
Only then can we feel and utilize the power of the questions this book seeks to convey.

And before you ask a question, you must ask a question.
“Why do I want to ask the question?”
And what and how should we ask?

The method and content of your questions should vary depending on whether the person you're talking to is your boss, a purchasing agent, a customer looking to buy a car, a husband who's indifferent to household chores, or a teenager, and whether you're simply trying to make conversation, sell something, or persuade someone to agree with you.


Questions are a powerful tool not only for interpersonal relationships but also for self-reflection.
You can change the direction of your thinking by asking yourself questions.
This book guides us to a wonderful place by presenting a variety of questions that organizations and individuals can immediately try.


The 7 Powers of Questions!

So what are the seven powers of questions that the author speaks of?

The first power - Asking questions leads to answers: Will asking questions always lead to answers? No.
Because we don't want an answer like 3+3=6.
In other words, the question should be “What can I help you with?” rather than “Can I help you?”
Instead of asking, “What should I have for dinner tonight?” you should ask, “I can prepare chicken or fish for dinner tonight. Which would be better?”
Although it may seem like the same question, it gives the person answering the question time to think concretely, and it sets a radius in which the person asking the question can act.

Second Power - Questions Provoke Thought: Let's say you get scolded after submitting a report.
When that happens, our common thoughts turn into complaints like, "Why am I so stupid? Why can't I do anything right? Can you expect me to do something right without giving me the proper information?"
Here we need to change the question into a realistic and answerable one.
"How do I submit a complete report? Do I fully understand the assignment? Do I need more detailed explanations from my supervisor? What parts of the report were successful? What areas need improvement? Is there someone I can turn to for help or guidance?"

Third Power - Asking Questions Gets You Information: Going to a sales pitch and trying to explain things to someone who isn't in charge is pointless.
“Is there anyone who can give me information about this issue?”, “Who has the authority to make decisions on this issue?” In other words, you need to ask ‘who, when, where, what (which), and why’ precisely.
We need to study how investigators and detectives ask questions.
That way, you can get the information and answers you want on the spot.

The Fourth Power - Asking Questions Takes Control: On a day when you're so busy that you don't even have time to blink, when your to-do list is piling up, and you're panting and frustrated, ask yourself a question.
"Is this situation really something that should be bothering me? What absolutely must be done today, and what can be put off until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or next week?" These questions help you control your emotions and your situation.
And sometimes you can ask questions that control the other person.
However, questions that are meant to control the other person can sometimes lead to excuses or feelings of shame.
You must learn to control your questions to solve problems, make others cooperative, defuse anger, and get them to think in a certain direction through positive control.

The Fifth Power - Questions Open Minds: Sometimes we make the mistake of asking a question and then formulating the answer before the other person even opens their mouth.
If you don't open your heart to the other person, you can't have a conversation and you can't expect answers to your questions.
First, you should try to establish rapport with the other person and ask open-ended questions so that the other person can fully reveal themselves.
If you want to know about facts and feelings, ask for the facts first and talk about your feelings about the situation later.
And you have to make sure that the other person feels comfortable enough to tell their story.

The sixth power - questions make you listen: When you listen to someone, you don't just nod your head.
You must prepare to listen with your eyes, ears, brain, and heart.
And when the other person is talking to me, when I ask questions, I should listen while thinking about what the most important purpose is.
That is, “Do you want me to just listen?”, “Do you want me to talk and ask questions?”, “Do you want me to give you advice?”

The Seventh Power - Answering Questions Persuades You: Nobody likes to be nagged.
If you ask a child who doesn't clean his room, "Why do you make a mess and never clean it?" the child will say, "My room can be messy, my way.
All I get back is a retort, “Don’t worry about it.”
You shouldn't insist that you buy a new car no matter what.
You need to know how much it costs to maintain your existing car and how it compares to buying a new car.
To customers who complain that your company's products are expensive, you need to explain why they are expensive and what benefits they receive in return for the high price.
Sometimes persuasion becomes a natural process that is accepted through questions.

Questions Transform Organizations: We also cover how to use questions to create organizations that think, change, and thrive.
And questions that strengthen family bonds: We teach you how to ask questions that foster smooth communication and creative thinking with children and spouses within the home.

Rediscovering Questions: Rediscovering Curiosity: Another way to cultivate the power of questions is to rediscover the innocent self that used to ask questions like “What is this?”, “Why is that?”, and “Why does it happen that way?” with eyes full of curiosity as a child.
