Questionning.

GREAT MINDS QUESTION

Great minds are great because they take advantage of those who have gone before them. In short, they know how to question the past, by actively questioning the accomplishments of others. They do not feel that they have imagined everything on their own, because they have had an idea they gave to others. What comes to them from imagination is inevitably based on a collective intelligence built over the centuries.

PEOPLE WHO QUESTION KNOW HOW TO LISTEN

People who ask questions expect an answer and are good listeners. But we always learn best from others. No one invented the world for himself or herself. The world is the sum of the contributions of a huge number of actors, and its expression and evolution are commensurate with their human greatness.

Those who think the world differently never start from a blank sheet of paper, but from the collective construction inherited from those who have gone before them. They know how to go further because they can imagine more and better. But their quest to improve the world remains a long question about the current state of the world and its possible state for the future, which is never devoid of the meaning of its past.

OUR MEANS ARE LIMITED, OUR ENDS ARE UNLIMITED

We must know how to question our predecessors, to avoid the traps of inexperience. And while expertise does not necessarily come from experience alone, the experience reinforces expertise in that it knows how to spare the mount of the lonely traveler of innovation.

Reinventing what we don't know that exists elsewhere is in no way a step forward for the social development of the community. Rather, it would be an economic waste of energy on the space and time ahead of all others. But no one has infinite resources to squander, not to advance the chariot of collective progress. And if our means are resolutely limited by our natural condition, our ends are unlimited by our human condition. In other words, our expectations of better exceed the ways and means of realizing our resources. This means that we need to better manage our resources to extract the benefits that flow from our expectations.

Moving forward, through ideas and projects, does not mean repeating the known, but rather appreciating the collective assets of yesterday to optimize the collective requirements of tomorrow. To question what has been, to situate what is, and to aim at what could be, is to try to better deserve what has marked collective life up to now.

TRUE LEADERS TRANSFORM THE STATE OF MIND

Opinion leaders are not so far ahead of the mentality that they are the only ones who understand the world and its potential future state. They transform the prevailing state of mind, from the stock of memory gathered, to transfigure the state of the world and make its potential state prevail. Questioning is therefore not questioning oneself in the wave of situations, but posing the problem in another dimension, to bring about the emergence of a new social state that will ensure the well-being of Man.

There is a strong temptation to express an opinion, before having heard the question, because the pretension of knowing leads some to overestimate themselves and underestimate others. However, exchanges that bring an enriched future, for society, are the spring that propels the world towards its destiny. And if it is sometimes necessary to question, for the sake of fairness, it is more often useful to question to understand the real meaning of the issues at stake.

ARE YOU "PRACTICAL" OR "THEORETICAL"?

People in action, who are said to be practical, question more often after the fact, while those with expertise, who are said to be theoretical, generally question before the fact! Some never question, for fear of being contradicted by the reality of the facts.

Where do you stand? Take the time to question yourself.
