One friend sent an interesting post, and towards the end, there were two questions. These are not just any old questions though, but the questions that the famous inventor, author and diplomat Ben Franklin used to ask himself each day.
What are the two questions? Well, in the morning he asked himself: What good shall I do this day?
And in the evening he asked himself: What good have I done today?
Simple but powerful. These two questions bring our focus back on doing the essential things during the day. In that way we won't be wasting time in doing meaningless, redundant activities. When we take stock of our day's work in the evening, we take ownership for it, rather than complaining or blaming others for not not achieving something. And if we have been successful in accomplishing what we wished to do in the morning, it gives us reason to feel satisfied and happy. So if you also wish to feel the same as I have started feeling, you need to ask these two questions from one of the most productive and creative people in the world!
