00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:13,940

Usually the best statement isn't a statement at all it is a very well crafted question.



2

00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:20,680

That's because people don't like to feel wrong and also think about this.



3

00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:25,530

Do you think that you can make up somebody else's mind really.



4

00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:33,500

Do you think that by telling somebody what to think that they are genuinely going to think that maybe



5

00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:39,130

that happens in some cases but in a lot of cases that's not the way it works in general.



6

00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:46,860

People need to form their own ideas in the best way to do that is to pose the right question.



7

00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:50,720

So for example let's say that you're at a networking event right.



8

00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,980

You're talking to a few people and somebody says you know I think art has no value in society.



9

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,560

I don't know why we keep on issuing grants to artists.



10

00:01:00,590 --> 00:01:03,280

How would you respond to that.



11

00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,360

If you don't believe that but not with a statement rather with a question I'll pose the video and then



12

00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,760

I'll share my response with you.



13

00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:12,970

All right.



14

00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:17,490

My response to somebody saying something like that would be something like this.



15

00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:23,740

Do you not think that Pablo Picasso's designs have anything to do with the way that we design things



16

00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:26,070

even on the web today.



17

00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:32,930

The thing is by posing the right question you are making a statement and maybe you'll cause the other



18

00:01:32,930 --> 00:01:38,780

person to change their mind organically which is a much more powerful outcome than you telling them



19

00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:39,780

what to think.
