Why?
A young girl wasn't eating the head and tail of fish. She was very disgusted when she saw others eat them. But, one day she decided to re-look into why she wasn't eating them. She noted that her mother had not been cooking the same too. On inquiring her mother responded that her mother, now the granny to the girl, was not cooking them too. The girl got shocked.
She thought now is the perfect chance to know why the granny wasn't cooking the head and the tail of fish who in turn responded that her mother, great grandma to the girl, wasn't cooking them too!
This made the girl furious and amused at the same time, luckily the great grandma was alive.
The grandma started by giving history on different issues and finally responded to that,'..my pan was too small to accommodate an entire fish so I chopped the tail and the head!'
Have you ever sat down and asked yourself why this or that.Many are the times when we join the boats of others without asking deep queries as to why and we start sailing, on to realize the direction they were heading were completely opposite from where we wanted to go. The how can be very easy once your why are very strong, and as -Bernard Baruch said,' Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why'.
There is power in asking questions it will get us what we want, I recall a time one Dr. Wale was giving a talk and he asked a question that was to win one a collection of his books, unfortunately no one got, after he was done with the talk I stood and asked, 'Dr, you had the heart of giving a collection of your books, does it mean you will go back with them?",He responded by saying, "Come have them".
Even the Bible says,
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek; and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8
Question everything, it's key to knowing and redefining the way we live.
