“The important thing is not to stop questioning.” Albert Einstein
People are sometimes afraid to ask questions out of fear of seeming “stupid.” Yet smart people usually ask the most questions.
To get a sense of how Einstein felt about questioning, look at some of his famous quotes:
“It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.”
“I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”
“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask… for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” You must figure out the crux of the matter – the question to be addressed—before focusing on answers.

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” Albert Einstein
Curiosity helps to fuel our imagination. When we ask questions of others, we can find out important information to help us solve problems, open new doors and form connections. When we ask questions of ourselves, we can shake up our beliefs, reveal our innermost desires and make positive changes. What questions are swimming around in your head?
Albert Einstein, a Quester, was curious, imaginative and always questioned things. He made a significant contribution to humankind.

“Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective than the one derived from fear of punishment.” —Mahatma Gandhi
Rather than using our personal power to overpower, manipulate and control through punishment, criticism and anger, we can employ our power to empower and inspire others to rise to new levels of natural “goodness” through acknowledgment, praise and love.
Revered in India as the “Father of the Nation,” Mohandas K. Gandhi is a worldwide icon of non-violent political resistance and advocate of simple living.
A Quester, Gandhi modeled the life he preached. Read about other Questers who use their power to inspire others to rise to new levels of natural “goodness”: Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life: http://www.amazon.com/Questers-Dare-Change-Your-Life/dp/1508408963
“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” – Albert Einstein
There’s nothing wrong with success, but oftentimes it’s easy to lose sight of who you are when you only focus on success. If you pursue activities that express your true values and contribute to the welfare of the world, you’ll end up being successful and also adding value to your own life as well as that of others.
How would you define success? What will make your life successful? What can you do in work, family, leisure and community activities that will benefit you as well as well as others? Your responses to these questions will guide you where to place or continue to place your focus. What we focus on truly expands.
