Enron Commercial Ode To Why

Enron Commercial "Ode To Why"
Why Is A Good Good Question... So Is Why Did You Screw Us?


A More Empowering List of Life Questions Might Look Like This:

The word is how. As in, How can I create a break for myself? Or, How can I best deal with a rude driver when I encounter one? Or, How can what I want have any impact on you, and what can I do to ease that?

Again, two different words from two different outlooks. Why invites you to accept whatever the stated reality is, and then demands that you make up a story that explains it. Probably a waste of time, unless you get your jollies making up
stories about unimportant stuff. Why turns our view to the past, looking for causes and for people to blame.

On the other hand, How is an action word. It looks to the future. How can I get what I want? Or, How can I mesh my
desires with another persons desires?

Good question. And it leads you in a direction of action. And actions are the stuff of life.

Okay, here's the next "bad boy" little word that shuts down thinking.

SHOULD

I should have done it differently.

You should do it like they do.

What should I do?

This time I have no suggestion for an alternative word. Well, actually I do, a bit later. First I want to express a big caution about this word because it comes so often from childish assumptions.

We all have a parents voice in our heads, treating us like were still wearing diapers. And this word is surely a parents word, telling us what we should do.

Should and even worse, should have will make you miserable. They are the words of dissatisfaction and helplessness and regret and guilt.

Try this. I want instead of I should. Even if you add the same ending, you get more power — more ADULT power, from saying I want to do it differently next time or, I want to be on time Instead of "I should be on time" or I shouldnt be late.

Think about the words you use — both to others and more importantly, to yourself.
