I still remember that day. One of my mentors gave me Susan’s book “Fierce Conversations” and while I knew that there was a reason that this book was given to me, I kept wondering – “But, I don’t want to have Fierce Conversations” 
That was years ago and I have to say that – that book totally touched me and sort of shaped the way I handled conversations since I read the book. Although it is written for the CEOs, I think it is a required reading for everyone. Well, not everyone – only those who want to have any conversations with others
Optimist warning: Please read this quote VERY carefully. If you take it to heart, this may change your life forever

Given that, while no single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, a company, a relationship or a life, any single conversation can – what is the conversation that has your name on it?

Quought = Question that provokes thought. Questions are important. Thinking is important. Questions that make you think are very important!

We start the series with my hero Seth Godin’s contribution. Seth has been a huge inspiration for me and my writing. I have read almost everything Seth has written (mostly multiple times.) So it is a great honor to start this series with his question.

No, there was no spelling mistake.
Quought = Question that provokes thought. Questions are important. Thinking is important. Questions that make you think are very important!
Some background first – I have always believed that it is not always the answers but sometimes asking one good question is what is required to make a difference in a person’s life or business or both. So as we approach the new year, I thought posting a series of questions that people should consider asking themselves in 2007 to get more out of their life or business or both. Since there is only so much that I can do alone, I reached out to several influencers and thought leaders to get those questions. Here was the question I asked these thoughtful, kind and smart people:
So, what is the ONE important question a person should ask himself or herself in 2007?
I have started receiving those questions. My goal was to post one of these questions everyday but it will take me a long while to post them that way. So I decided to post more than one “Quought for the Day” starting today.
Here is the link to all the Quoughts.

Note: The word “Quought” was coined by my friend Ashwin Rangan, former CIO of Walmart.com. Special thanks to Ashwin for the suggestion
