The title of this post is one of my favorite quotations, sometimes attributed to Ursula K LeGuin. I am reminded of it at work nearly every day. My colleagues are engineers and scientists, wired and trained to find answers. My mind works the same. Pose a question and the thinking, analyzing, calculating, and answer-finding begins immediately.
The trouble is, if the wrong question is asked, then no matter what answer we come up with, it will be "wrong." It will not be helpful, it may point us in a bad direction, it may simply be meaningless.
How much time are you devoting to asking the right questions? Answers are easy. But you need to ask the right question if you want the right answer.
