Forever Searching

In a lifetime of asking questions have you ever had all of them answered?

Seriously! In our childhood time of discovery we unabashedly used the one word we knew "WHY?" However, do you remember getting all the answers?

In all those years we spent in one educational establishment or the other we were forever looking for answers for text book questions; did we get them all? If we were confident, an examiner would prove us wrong with a B or a C instead of that A we were hoping for.

As young adults, while we had burning questions about love, life, faith, the universe and the future did we fool ourselves into believing that we had found the mother lode only to be brought back to earth with a thump by that royal brute called life?

My point here is although we learn we never really know.

Do we?

Even as adults we are constantly asking questions and never really get all the answers.

These days of course it is easier to find solutions because we can get these on the internet and the right search words will tell us about any subject.

So why do we continue to seek?

And while I was searching for answers to the million questions I need answered I came by this website BusinessBalls.com which provided me 10 answers to:

"How to murder creativity in the work place"

1. Always pretend to know more than everybody around you

2. Get employees to fill in time sheets

3. Run daily checks on the progress of everyone’s work

4. Ensure that highly qualified people do mundane work for long periods of time

5. Put barriers up between departments

6. Don’t speak personally to employees, except when announcing increased targets, shortened deadlines and tightened cost restraints

7. Ask for a 200 page document to justify every new idea

8. Call lots of meetings

9. Place the biggest emphasis on the budget

10. Buy lots of computers

After reading off that list, only one question comes to mind: "WHY?"
