二零零八年二月十五日，在Facebook SLD Network Group以"An AI viewpoint on problems: mysteries"分享：

問題在英語可以翻譯成為questions或者problems.
在欣賞式探究(Appreciative Inquiry)中，一切都是由問題(questions)開始："Questions are fateful." 怎樣問問題，便會改變我們對事情的觀點及感受！

至於問題(problems)出現了，強調欣賞的領袖(appreciative leaders)又會怎樣看待問題呢？會否否認有問題客觀地存在呢？我想絕不能逃避吧！

當然，我們可以正面地看待問題(problems)，這樣最壞的情況都有其可取的地方。而哲學家Gabriel Marcel則提出一個概念－－奧秘(mystery)，嘗試點出問題problems並不會只是客觀地存在：

"A mystery is something in which I am invloved, and it can therefore only be thought of as a sphere where the distinction between what it is in me and what is before me loses its meaning and its initial validity."

這樣看來，問題(problems)總不會是一個客觀地存在的問題，而是一個人主體地參與的奧秘，簡單來說，你將一件事情看成問題，其實你便是問題的一部份。那麼，要解難(to solve a problem)，會否是要先自覺地了解自己與問題的連結，先行解結，才能解難呢？

也許，這就是覺醒(awakening)在領袖天地(leaderSEA)的意思！

去年，沒有任何回應；今年，自己回應：

"Losing meaning and its initial validity" makes the mystery concept too mystical and a bit unreal. Perhaps a mystery is something in which a person is involved and at the time when the boundary between the person and the "something" disappears. The person and the "something" become one, and the mystery of the something becomes the meaning of the person. Look, it is not a case of losing meaning. It is a search for meaning! Choice of words is critical when one wants to be affirmative and appreciative. Marilee Adams says, "Change your questions, change your life." I add, "Change your words, change your world."
