Socrates was a great thinker and an acclaimed teacher. He employed an interesting teaching method. He got his students to think by asking them insightful questions. It taught them important lessons while stimulating critical thinking. Great writers and leaders have used questions to illustrate and persuade down through the centuries.

Properly framed questions are far more persuasive than statements. They force listeners to think and to come to their own conclusions.

In his famous Give me liberty or give me death speech, Patrick Henry moved the nation. He led up to his powerful conclusion with a series of questions. They included, “Why stand we here idle?...Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!”
