There are problems. Hence, the probes.

Today's practice was thought-provoking. A series of simple questions were posed to us. One of the was this: how many ways are there to sing 'la'? Theoretically, infinite. Another was this: why do we want to sing together? Can't we just do with a solo and a microphone?

Sometimes, simple questions are difficult to answer. Perhaps we had the answer, but we could not find the right words to form a simple answer. Also, there may be a tendency to be turned-off with simple questions. However, if we do not consider the simple questions, would they not become difficult to answer?

So why are simple questions necessary? (notice this is another simple question)

1. To warm-up our brain.
2. To check our understanding.
3. To listen to other people's answer.
4. Because we need to establish common grounds (especially important for co-workers)
5. Because behind simple questions lie big concepts which we should be aware of.
(And the list goes on, non-exhaustive...)

Think through. Think thorough.
Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love of God
