Obvious Questions – The List Grows

Motivational speaker Harry K. Jones has appeared all over North America addressing topics such as change, customer service, creativity, employee retention, goal setting, leadership, stress management, teamwork and time management. Thus far we’ve provided 64 questions that could be categorized as “obvious questions that simply aren’t asked or answered.” Every time we add a dozen or so, we discover another multitude of questions that certainly should qualify for this growing list.

I’m not talking about questions that will end wars, abolish poverty, cure all diseases, or eliminate the world’s problems. I’m talking about the questions that drive us crazy due to their simplicity and the questions that absolutely no one seems to be able to answer.

If you’re interesting in reviewing any of the previous questions, simply click on Is It Just Me? and you’ll find them listed under seven different articles titled “Obvious Questions.” Here are a few more.
