Asking questions to ourselves

I read this in a book by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen “The Aladdin factor”
“A friend once asked Isidor I Rabi, a Nobel Prize winner in physics, how he became a scientist. Rabi replied that every day after school his mother would talk to him about his schoolday.She wasn’t so much interested in what he had learned that day, but she always inquired, “Did you ask a good question today?”
“Asking good questions” Rabi said, ”made me become a scientist.”
How frequently do we spend time asking questions and looking for answers from within us? The answers for most of our questions lie deep within us. I am not talking about mundane questions about time and weather here. I refer to questions that if you had asked and obtained the answers would have changed your life. Answers may not be forthcoming immediately. We should not give up but live with the questions till we get the answers. Revisiting them frequently and cogitating on them is the key.
A few questions to illustrate the type would be; what is your purpose in life? If you could be anything at all, what would you like to be? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want? What wisdom you have learnt from your life’s experiences? Is there something yet to be done to reach the Ultimate goal of a human life?
