What have you learned today? This is one of the most valuable questions to ask yourself at the end of every day, and to ask your children so that they learn to see life as a constant opportunity to gain wisdom from every experience. If you can't think of anything specific, find an encyclopaedia, explore Wikipedia or look through the dictionary so that you create a new learning that you can share with others.
What's great about this? Another superb question to ask in any situation, whether challenging or otherwise. By searching for the value in situations, you'll always find ways to maximise the benefit for yourself and others around you. By asking this question aloud, you'll also teach others to look for the value - so you'll be spreading the learning and the growth - and what they find that's great about something may be completely different to what you see, so you'll learn from each other. Again, another valuable question to ask your children, to help them focus on life's positives - a lifelong skill that is priceless.
How can I use this? Again, focusing on the value that is inherent in any situation - particularly challenging ones. This question helps you to seek out the positive meaning and turn it into a benefit. Once again, encourage your children to ask themselves this and you'll find that they become far more self sufficient and resourceful human beings. Try it with your team members too - and learn from their responses!
