“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.”
“Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question “how?” but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question “why?”
“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.”

“I was wondering why I wasn't getting the right answers. It was then I realized that I wasn't asking the right people.”
