Discussion line: In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on becoming somebody who asks “Why?”

 

Andy’s levels of achievement from The Little Things:

• Z: Z’s are the people who don’t do, don’t know, and don’t accomplish anything.
• D: D’s know how to do
• T: T’s can not only do something but can also teach
• L: L’s can not only do and teach but can also lead others in doing something.
• H: H’s can not only do, lead, and teach, but they also know how a principle works.
• W: W’s are so high on the ladder that we miss them. They know why a principle works.

 

You can’t get the full value of a principle until you understand why it works.

• Our parents teach us not to ask “Why?”
• We only ask “Why” when something is going wrong.
• Understanding why a principle works can only happen while observing the principle working, so always ask “Why is this working so well?”

 

Something can be true but not the truth.

• The truth is knowledge about something. The truth is the bottom line, the entirety of the thing.
• When people have a problem, they keep looking until they find something true, but they rarely continue looking until they find the truth.

 

Personal growth doesn’t end until you die.

• The hill is always going to get steeper and you will always be climbing.
