If you ask meaningful questions to interested groups of people, you will receive replies and get reactions. A well placed question can bring about a more valuable dialogue and teaching/learning experience than a rant or lecture.
If you wonder why nobody else is doing something you want to see done, why haven’t you begun to do it yourself? I’ve realized that some things will never get done if I don’t initiate them. (Plus, keep this in mind: the person with the greatest vested interest in your life… is you.)
If you’re looking to create more meaningful relationships in your life, invite your friends or acquaintances over for dinner. Letting people into your home is letting them into your life. You’ll learn more about each other this way. I’m making it a goal to have people over for dinner a few times this year. I’ll let you know how it goes. My first attempt will be tomorrow.
If you want to learn something new, pick up a book and read! I love fiction and sci-fi, but reading some books about entrepreneurship has begun broadening my horizons. This will be valuable in the short-term by providing fuel for conversation and in the long-term because the additional knowledge will be a resource I can draw upon in future experiences.
