How to create the next new thing

The source of anything new is questions –

  1. questions that spark interesting conversations,
  2. questions that create controversy.

Ask yourself:

What questions should we ask?

And more important, ask yourself:

What questions are we not supposed to ask?(Why not-Ask those questions)

Ask yourself:

Who aren’t we conversing with?

And then ask them:What are your questions?

Ask questions that don’t come easily –questions that are tough, awkward, even taboo.

Ask unnatural questions-questions you know the other person will not be able to answer fully and fill in the gaps by asking more people the same questions and complete the answer(s).

Nothing ventured nothing gained!
