Quick Questions to Ponder

After relentless interrogation from a friend for the past days, one appreciates the value of knowing somebody who is well versed in asking the right questions. It easily sorts out things into a logical manner and helps clear one's head of "confusion."

Aside from the usual five (5) Ws and one (1) H inquiry (what, when, where, who, why, how), which would be the standard querries when gathering facts, the following imperative statements (which is the gist of the questions I have received for the past days) proves to be productive/effective as well;

1. What happened or what's going on?
   
2. How did it happened?
3. What course of action(s) should be taken?
4. What lies ahead in the future? (i.e., the consequences of item 3)
   

If we will pause for a moment and ponder the answers to the above questions, especially when in a "tight" situation, it will be enough to solve most of life's snags.
