100 questions that are important to you

make a list of 100 questions that are important to you.  Your list can include any kind of question as long as it's something you deem significant: anything from "How can I save more money?" or "How can I have more fun?" to "What is the meaning and purpose of my existence?" and "How can I best be helpful on this earth."  Do this list in one sitting.  Write quickly; don't worry about spelling, grammar, or repeating the same question in different words.  You may find that the first 20 easily come off the top of your head.  In the next 30-40 themes often begin to emerge, and in the last section you are likely to find unexpected questions that are profound. When finished look through your list and see if any themes emerge with out judging them.  Are your questions mostly about relationships, business, money, fun, or the meaning of life? (This exercise comes from a book titled How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci by Michael Gelb.  If you would like to take a look at the chapter on Curiosita it is on pages 48-75.)
