Question of the Day 8: Where in your life would it be beneficial to ask another person, “What’s important to you?”

All right, there is two ways to interpret this question. One, you can interpret it meaning what stage in your life is beneficial or two, you can interpret it meaning what area of your life would it be beneficial? I am going to interpret it meaning the latter of the two. In one particular area I would find it beneficial in my life to ask another person, "What's important to you" would be my father. I have always been the listener with my father as he has always been the talker. I think this would be a very beneficial question to ask him because he seems to want to take direction in his life but is hesitant to. I have already used one of these question in real life so I may go the same again with him. But as I said, I am usually the listener with him an he is the talker so I will need to definitely set aside some meaningful time to just be an ear. Maybe he will find what he is looking for.
