And a few years back was also v. interesting;
"WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?"
...
http://www.edge.org/q2002/question.02_index.html
I was at South by Southwest...it's a film/interactive/music festival in
Austin TX. There's an event called 20x2 (20 times 2) that has 20
speakers talking for 2 minutes on a question. This year's question was
"What is the Secret?"
I haven't read a transcript of it yet, unfortunately. But it would be
fun to ask :-)
"We have more power than we know, to transform ourselves."
MY SECRET:
"Taking a step sideways unveils a whole new world, if you know what to
look for."
and maybe
"Look BETWEEN places, ideas, and things for the really interesting
stuff."
"You already know - everything about your life and your future, you can
ask yourself, and you already know."
MY VALUE ADD:
Showing you how you can ask yourself! ;)
