Your response to the Tony Robbins bit made me think of something I've recently realized: it's funny how many people don't know about something that you think everyone knows or should know about. Let me give you an example of what I mean. Growing up in rural Louisiana, where the DJ's have no budget or imagination, you hear a lot of the same songs over and over and over. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard the same songs by bands like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns 'N' Roses, Pink Floyd, etc. If I hear someone say that he's not familiar with one of the bands, I instantly think, How the hell can someone not know those bands? And then I realize that we all go through different paths in life and are exposed to different things.

You and Jean make me feel out as if I missed out one of those things that everyone seems to know. By the way, I'm not preaching to you; I'm just saying that your response reminded me of something.

lol, at the Tony Robbins bit. It is impossible to search for anything motivational without his name popping up. You're right about how important asking great questions is. It is far more complicated to form an intelligent question, then it is to come up with an answer.

“Before the age of the Internet”? There was such a time? Blasphemy!

I wanted to clarify that I wasn't endorsing him because, no matter how inspirational a quote may be, people will consider the source and link you to it. If I had a great quote that said something like: “Follow your visions and do all in your power to make them your reality”, people would think that was great and inspirational. But if that quote could be credited to Adolf Hitler, I'd be branded a Nazi! So, I just wanted to cover my own ass, just in case…

Curiosity and questions make the world so much more interesting. Imagine if we just went through the motions like mindless zombies. I hope I never do that, I really, really do…

That's funny that you don't know who Tony Robbins is . . . before the age of the internet he was on tv infomercials constantly selling his 'Awaken the Giant Within' and other courses. Couldn't escape the guy if you tried. Wonder what he's up to now?

I'm bit on questions. I'm super curious about people – what they like, how they do things, their experiences, etc Plus I'm curious about myself . . . why am I doing things a certain way, what's really going on inside, etc. There's no end to the things you can find out by asking.
