If you work in tech, you’ve probably heard the famous Peter Thiel question: “What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”

More people should have questions they live by. It’s a good way to direct one’s life, and it positively impacts the world by making others more curious. Imagine if every person had a question. The world would undoubtedly be a more curious and interesting place.

Thiel isn’t the only one with a question. Other famous examples include:

Can machines think?

— Alan Turing

What did you get done this week?

— Elon Musk

When I’m 80 years old, will I regret not having tried this?

— Jeff Bezos

If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?

— Steve Jobs

What’s the ONE thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

— Gary Keller

I try to live my life with no assumptions untested, so my question would probably be “What assumption haven’t you tested?”

What’s your question?
