An Answer to A Question Is A Question

My post title sounded a little bit confusing though I have no intention in doing so nor injecting elements from Confucius.

In many cases, like recently, one of my colleagues put me in confusion as he tried to explain some business processes to me. I thought I understood but I didn't. I started to question for more answers to clear my doubts.

However I found that the more questions I threw in, the more confused I became.


I heart question mark?

Deep down in mind, I questioned myself why I couldn't get it right. Why the processes was difficult to understand? Why did he confuse me with conflicting statements? I questioned the entire process once again, which got him to answer hell more questions pertaining to my level of understanding instead.

The real life story above is one of many similar cases whereby my mind was blocked with questions that led me to nowhere.

I've found an answer. It was from a guy named Noah St. John. According to him, our brain always respond to a question - by searching for an answer based on the question itself.

So, the simple answer to a difficult question tends to be a positive question itself. Let me get this right - I need to ask questions in a positive manner to make myself to believe anything is clear and easy to understand. When my brain behaved in such manner, I started to link things together to form ideas which will then solve the questions I asked earlier.

In many situations, we asked..

Why do I always have bad luck?
Instead of - Why am I so lucky?


Why I have so little?
Instead of - Why I have so much?


Why am I so poor?
Instead of - Why am I so rich?


Why are the exams so difficult?
Instead of - Why do I feel so confident in my exams?


Why all the bad things happen when I less expected?
Instead of - Why I always at the right place at the right time?

Go ahead and ask yourself on those positive questions. For sure, the answers will surface one by one.

Last but not least, I still have one more question in mind.

Why doesn't this blog post sound confusing?

The Secret of Garbage Truck

Since the day one I watched the movie "The Secret", I started to read a lot of stories on the subject of "Law of Attraction". I have come to a conclusion whereby the excitement of manifesting thoughts into reality is merely like waiting for my food order without paying the bill.

After I read a mail from my friend, I found out that the story on the law of attraction has taken another twist. Here's the story.

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined our car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of Garbage Truck'.



He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

That was a really interesting illustration of how to distracting oneself from bad karma. The world will become a better place if most people failed to influence each other with their negative thoughts.

After all, if my food does arrive but doesn't taste good, they probably need a larger bin.
