Question to Ask

At church today my friend Aaron Haslam showed a “Mormon Message” in class. It is their newest one, and it’s about being thankful. How fitting, seeing as how it is Thanksgiving this week, right?

Well, this video has an awesome message and just makes me happy while I listen to it. But also, this video got me even more excited to go on my trip. It shows me how there is so much good out there, and how I can learn something from anybody. I’m excited to get out and about and interact with lots of different people. As I was thinking about this video, it also made me think about what kind of question I could ask to people. I think it would be fun to have a specific question that I can ask to every single person I come in contact with. Then, I could make a compilation of all the different responses that I receive from people. The main questions that I genuinely want to know are:

What do you for a living?
Do you love what you do?
Why or why not?
How did you get into your current vocation?

The first two questions are straight forward and are just yes/no questions, so those I could ask pretty easily. The second two questions don’t necessarily have simple answers. I’m excited to see how many people actually love what they do, and how they got into their jobs. I’m not sure if these are the questions I’ll ask everybody, but, this is what I’d like to know from every person I contact. I wonder if there is one question I could ask to get the answers I’m looking for. Maybe I’ll ask the question about if money wasn’t an issue, what would people do with their lives? It might be interesting to see how many of them are currently doing what they would be doing if they had more money. Hmmm. That might be a good one to ask. I’ll have think some more about that.
