Excerpt: Better questions lead to better answers. These questions from The Book of Questions will provoke you, prod you, and get you thinking! Enjoy!
“Creativity is often misunderstood. People often think of it in terms of artistic work – unbridled, unguided effort that leads to beautiful effect. If you look deeper, however, you’ll find that some of the most inspiring art forms – haikus, sonatas, religious paintings – are fraught with constraints.” ~ Marissa Mayer, via Talk Like TED
“If you can’t explain your big idea in 140 characters or less, keep working your message.” ~ Carmine Gallo, Talk Like TED
“Don’t fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it.” ~ Amy Cuddy, via Talk Like TED
“The truthful, inside story of almost any man’s life – if told modestly and without offending egotism – is most entertaining. It is almost sure-fire speech material.” ~ Dale Carnegie, via Talk Like TED
“When you’re surrounded by people who share a collective passion around a common purpose, anything is possible.” ~ Howard Schultz, via Talk Like TED
“Authentic happiness can only come from the long-term cultivation of wisdom, altruism, and compassion and from the complete eradication of mental toxins, such as hatred, grasping, and ignorance.” ~ Matthieu Richard, via Talk Like TED
“Ask yourself, ‘What makes my heart sing?’ Your passion is not a passing interest or even a hobby. A passion is something that is intensely meaningful and core to your identity. Once you identify what your passion is, can you say it influences your daily activities? Can you incorporate it into what you do professionally?” ~ Carmine Gallo, Talk Like TED
“Passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent.” ~ Larry Smith, via Talk Like TED
“If you can’t inspire anyone else with your ideas, it won’t matter how great those ideas are. Ideas are only as good as the actions that follow the communication of those ideas.” ~ Carmine Gallo, Talk Like TED
