4 W's and a H

What, When, Where, Why, and How

I didn't want the suspense to kill you. This is the controversy of the day. Too many people focus on the Who - which in my opinion - is irrelevant on the subject of principles.

The admiration of the Who overshadows the What's that should be everyone's main focus. Let us remember the phrase: Actions speak louder than words. A Who is spoken, however, the What is evident from the actions. The word can be twisted, yet the actions are cemented.

The When and Where are intertwined. Timing and location are conducive to our environment. A healthy environment will foster a positive, productive, produceful life. A life that will blossom into opportunities and forward momentum. Yet, the opposite of positive, productive, and produceful would have to be toxic, destructive, and stagnant. Those adjectives compose of qualities that decomposes one's life. The environment can truly play an altering trajectory. Be cautious of the When and Where. The time and Locations.

Why's... Why did this happen? Why do we exist? Why is the sky a certain color? Why do we wonder why? Why do they act like that? Without the Why - there can not be understanding. Solving the Why are how geniuses become who they are. They match patterns to create what was once an abstract idea into logical rational. 

Lastly, the How. The How is the science of it all. The detailed intricacies that aligned in a manner to create the What. The How shows the When, the Where and completes the understanding of the Why. 

The Who is solely for identification purposes. The Who helps us to communicate on named ideas in order to make a more fluent conversation. The Who is important. It is only important to distinguish between What's, When's, Where's, Why's, and the How's.

It is my only opinion that the Who has been more emphasized than the What. Which should not be so. Because the What's are the actions leading to the answers of the When, Where, Why, and How.
