No. 19 · The Right Question
The verse
Before rushing to find a road, ask the direction;
one "why" and half the fog lifts.
What it means
Before hurrying to find a method, get clear on what you actually want to solve. Today suits asking one more "why" about the task at hand; with the right question, the direction becomes clearer.
Something to do today
- For today's most important task, write down "what I really want to achieve".
