Start with the discussion about the Renaissance genius Leonardo Da Vinci. Where is the secret of his creativity and immortality? What is the formula for his life's success? Can we achieve as much as he did?
Proceeding:
1. Participants are asked to relax and try to write down questions “off the top of their head.” It is important that the participants do not disturb each other; the questions should not be divided into bad or good ones, sensible or unwise. All questions that arise spontaneously must be written down.
2. The participants are asked to think briefly--without even raising the pen--to write down a 100 questions list on the sheet of paper. Some questions may be repeated.
3. After writing 100 questions, participants are asked to quietly read them and underline the 10 questions they consider to be most important.
4. Finally, participants are asked to take a look at their 10 underlined questions and pick one - the most important. This question is the most important to them at the moment.
While carrying within ourselves a question to which the answer is difficult to find, we must find within ourselves the power to stop worrying immensely about it; we must accept the question phase and see it through, without rushing, and one day, perhaps without feeling it, we may find ourselves living the answer.
