This isn’t like cancer, where we don’t know the solution. Financial planning is math. We have the answers, yet it’s this huge cause of stress.
Sometimes people look to others for answers they can find within themselves. I don’t really want the responsibility of being the guy they look to.
The lack of closure in an unsolved case seems to have a sharpening effect on those left behind; the details remain vivid to them even years later, possibly because they’ve gone over them looking for answers so many times.

If you know what you need, you will find the answers when you read.

I never felt I had questions or needed answers or had a part of me that was missing.
We live our whole lives, and in our dying moment, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What did we really care about? What impact did we make on the world?’ The older I get, the more I realize the answers have to do with how we affect and love the people around us.
If you ask ten different people in the diamond industry about the diamond industry, they’ll give you ten completely different answers that are opposing, contradicting each other. And maybe that’s the thing about the diamond business.
The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions.

We owe it to our service men and women and their families, who sacrificed so much for our country, to find out the answers they deserve and make care and treatment for them, their children, and their grandchildren a priority.
Every day I wake up and think: ‘Am I part of the problem? Am I helping further entrench the political divide? All the raging mouthpieces of the right that I’m furious with – am I just the same but on the left?’ I have no easy answers to that.

I was 7 years old, and I challenged everything. I never accepted answers on face value.
Any time a writer thinks he has all the answers to how someone should talk or react or end a scene, it’s a spontaneity-killer.

The answers I found on that journey are woven through the novel.
When Tony Abbott was prime minister, I could get straight answers. I didn’t always like what he had to say, but he stuck to it.

As opposed to journalists, politicians cannot make do with questions. They must also offer answers.
There must be right and wrong answers to questions of morality and values that potentially fall within the purview of science. On this view, some people and cultures will be right (to a greater or lesser degree), and some will be wrong, with respect to what they deem important in life.
I can enjoy what I’m engaged in and be fully present rather than planning my answers to questions while someone else is speaking or thinking about my next appointment while my current engagement is still in in progress.
I think about what I say. I don’t give stock answers. I’m not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.
