Notice, Listen, ask, think, discover


Blog entry #3, Friday afternoon December 21, 2012
Mrs. J is on a roll! Musing away…

My questions? Your questions? Our questions?
“We grow in the direction of the questions we are asking.”
Our questions grow from our ability to notice: to use all our senses
As we take in the world around us. The use of an idea-catcher notebook
Or cards is an excellent way to catch and remember what is
bombarding our senses and  proliferating the questions that arise. 

Consider the lessons in the following quotes:
            “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the only one who’
            asked why.” –Bernard Barach
“Each thought that is welcomed and recorded is a nest egg, by the side of which more will be laid.” Thoreau
            Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
