It's good to ask questions. 

My favourite anecdotes comes from my time at school. One of the things we got to do in the last two years of school was linked to 'life skills'. We ran coffee and bingo mornings for older members of the community; shopped for people who were housebound and helped out at local nurseries. 

I was helping out at a local nursery one day when this young girl, who was in the 'WHY?' phase of asking questions, kept following me. 

'Why' is the most fun of questions and she was great having fun at my expense. 

'Why?' 

'Why?' 

'Why?' 

All day. 

The last session was painting and I was going to get my own back. 

I walked up to her as she was painting. 

'Ethel, what are you doing?', I asked. 

'Painting.', she replied. 

'Why?' I asked. Feeling fantastic that she'd fallen into a well executed plan and I'd gotten my own back. 

She stopped, looked at me with some sympathy before replying. 

'Because', she said 'this… [brush brandishing] is not a crayon'. 

... 

Everyone has a 'Why', it's the purpose or cause that inspires you. 

Knowing what your 'Why' is gives you a 'What' and a 'How' filter to make choices that help you find fulfilment in all you do, be it at home, at work or elsewhere ('Where' and 'When'). 

'Who?', 'Why?', 'What?', 'Where?', 'When?' and 'How?' are the fundamental questions of any radio interview we do at Bolton FM. In fact we'll be asking these questions our roadshows this weekend, we'll be at Asda on Blackburn Road on Saturday and Farnworth Social Circle Cricket Club on Sunday. 

Keep asking questions.
