Dear all,
Ever thought of asking a “wrong” question?
Think Leonardo da Vinci. He didn’t just paint masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper—he also sketched early designs for helicopters, submarines, and machine guns.
His notebooks were filled with questions like, “What makes a face beautiful?” “Why do we sleep?” Or, “Why is a fish in water swifter than a bird in air, when water is heavier and thicker than air?”
His curiosity led him to design flying machines centuries before airplanes existed. By asking the “odd,” “out-of-the-blue,” or even “wrong” questions, he challenged the norm and pushed boundaries.
He looked outside the box.
We’re facing a world desperate for new answers. But if we want different answers, we need different questions. Have you tried asking your own “wrong” questions? What are some ways we can unlock our creativity?
So let’s get gloriously wrong to get things right—fresh ideas, fun games, and hands-on activities await!
