A young lady was in the final phase of a MBA Pageant at Madison Square Garden. She had won the final swimsuit competition and the final talent competition. If she received a good score on the question asked her, she would become the National MBA Title Holder.
Her question was, "What would be the first thing you would do if you won the Miss Black America title? Before she answered, she reflected on all the answers her competitors had given, and she thought about the responses she had heard from the audience and the judges when other questions had been answered.
She was most impressed with a humorous answer a contestant had given which caused the judges to laugh and applaud. So she said, "The first thing I would do if I won the title would be to install air conditioners in the dressing rooms of Madison Square Garden.
No one laughed.
The Reverend Jesse Jackson, a judge at the pageant didn't crack a smile at the contestant’s answer to the question.
Earlier in the show, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the first Black, Female Congresswoman from New York City had stated positively, how proud she was to be a part of Black People "doing their thing" in Madison Square Garden. The crowd had applauded enthusiastically and given her a standing ovation.
The point is that the finalist’ answer to the question was in bad taste. The contestant had used something other than her own mental and spiritual experiences. Thus she had blown the contest and had to settle for the title of first runner-up.
These guidelines are for those who want to develop the capacity to project themselves cleverly, to answer questions concisely and leave no stone unturned on the road to success. They’re not for those who automatically answer questions according to what they think others expect or the way others answer – but, for those who choose to answer according to the sincere dictates of their spiritual, mental and physical selves.
The words which come out of your mouth determine what people who judge you will think of you. Of course, the Mind controls the mouth. When one does not control his mind, he can neither control his mouth nor his body – thus creating the possibility of the mouth causing the mind, body and spirit to default.
Therefore, you must make a specific decision as to what degree you are willing to stand up and project yourself positively. You might have to learn to relax and be a bit shocking to those who are interested in causing you to answer a question in accord with what they wish you to say. However, when you have decided to invest in yourself, you will find that being your own person and not letting others do your thinking for you is an indisputably beautiful way to live and it offers you a guaranteed method of winning.
I am not suggesting that you become a rebel, on the contrary, I will help you develop into a person who will say with "positivity" to all the world from your stage, “I will say what is inside of me, and I will resist anyone who tries to stop me."
As you proceed, you will learn how to say what you feel, feel what you say, AND know what not to say. Providing you feel strongly enough about giving straight positive answers to invest the time to do something about it, we will provide you the secrets that will help you to win in life with your answers. These secrets are for those who want to be clearly understood and have a strong desire to project confidence in themselves more than anything else.
You possess the ability to answer a question uniquely and totally different from the way others will answer the same question. No one can answer a question for you because no one can feel what you feel the way you feel it. No one can see what you see the way you see it. No one can experience what you experienced the way you have experienced it. Therefore, everyone uses a totally different set of mental, spiritual and physical circum stances to answer a specific question.
It is impossible for one who has self-control and who truly wants to answer a question positively to respond with a negative answer. The key to answering questions that impress an audience lies in you. These guidelines put the concentration on you. You, who are the most important person in the world to yourself. You, the person who must ultimately respond to the question.
This treatise on "How to Answer questions and Win" is organized around a major principle: giving a specific answer to a specific question. Therefore, you will be taken through concrete steps to help you develop the ability to answer questions concisely and rapidly on your feet. If you believe these guidelines can do everything for you, then you are a victim of your own misconceived illusions. This, before you even start making positive improvements to yourself. These guidelines will aid you on the road to success but you must take the actual steps in order to succeed.
