Don’t Waste a Master: Stop Asking Questions That Only Make You Look Smart

If you ever get a rare moment with a true master - an enlightened teacher, a world-class marketer, a craftsperson with real depth, there’s an easy way to waste it.

Not by being disrespectful.

Not by being distracted.

But by asking the kind of questions that sound deep… while keeping you exactly the same.

Metrics that matter as you review your year for meaning.

There are many ways to assess if you had a good year. If you're looking at money, it's easy. Just check your bank balance compared to last year and see if you've made progress. But if you're thinking about meaning, you need to ask different questions. Measuring meaning isn't straightforward. You might ask about your contributions, fulfillment, and personal growth. These aren't easy to measure, so you have to use approximations.

Here are nine starter metrics for you to consider

Being curious makes boredom impossible.

The secret to a fascinating life?

Be endlessly fascinated by people.

Everyone’s story is a puzzle worth solving.

Life is a Go board.

You place your stone. The universe responds.

You can’t control its move -- only your next one. #GoGame #Philosophy

@bhalligan Stop, reflect and think about the intention and orientation of the person who is the source of criticism -- as sometimes the problem lies there

Thoughtful async beats mindless sync..

Pure gold (as always) from @hnshah

[Hiten Shah @hnshah]

Daily stand-ups began as a heartbeat for teams. Now they serve as cardio for managers who need to hear a pulse to believe one exists. Everyone recites yesterday’s calendar and pretends it matters.

If a detail fits in the board it does not belong in the circle. Engineers mute the call and keep coding. Product managers polish lines instead of clearing blockers. Momentum stalls while boxes get checked.

Want speed? Scrap the ritual. Post three crisp updates before noon. Send blockers straight to the person who can remove them. Give the rest of the day back to building.
