Why me?

Most of us ask this question when something's gone wrong. But do you ask yourself when you are happy or suddenly receive a present or got a lucky draw?

No, why?

So, please ask questions but positive questions! Oprah becomes famous, and wealthy by asking questions. It's because she asks positive, encouraging, engaging and motivating questions!

Asking questions to ourselves is good. In fact, asking questions and knowing how to ask questions can even make people rich, look at Oprah Winfrey. She becomes a multi-millionaire by just sitting down and asking her guest questions!

Instead of "Why me always fail in my test? Why me only got a scolding from teacher? Why me so unlucky get involved in this mess? " Let's turn the question around and ask "Why not me?" Or "Why not she/he"  Then look at it from the opposite angle. Example, "why me fail in this test, and not Janice?" Answer:  " Because she is smart? Because she studies harder? Because she pays more attention in class? Because she does her work well and with great concentration?" In this way, we are actually slowly going towards the positive mode.

So let's ask ourselves a series of questions. Questions starting with "How" is also a good start especially for motivating young children to learn.

Do not wallow in misery, as it's our life! Take charge of ourselves and action on our part. Just as
John F. Kennedy's famous quote

"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." 

Let's try turn our luck by asking ourselves the correct questions. Not by wallowing in sorrow and misery.

Stay positive and you can find happiness from within!

May we all be blessed with luck and happiness always !
