A Game of Curiosity - Test your limits

When we were young, we used to play Name Place Animal Thing. Refresher for people who don't remember it - it's when you think of a letter and all the people playing the game need to make a list of as many names, places, animals and things starting from that letter as possible.

However, as we grow old we learn that it's not the quantity but the quality of our content that matters.

Therefore in the interest of quality and revisiting a familiar game in these difficult times, I'd like to share my list starting with the letter Q.

Name: Quentin

Quentin Tarantino is my favourite director - his movies progress like a fugue with all characters playing their part to coalesce into one beautiful piece.

His movies inspire me to develop decisiveness and a bird's eye view.

Place: Qatar

Qatar was a fishing country but once gas reserves were found in 1970s, Qatar changed entirely. 99% population in urban regions, 97% literacy #9 highest GNI/capita, 0.848 HDI - the list goes on and on.

Qatar inspires me to be resilient in life and tolerant of all cultures.

Animal: Queen bee

A hive functions like a well oiled machinery due to the directions of Queen bee. Surrounded by worker bees and servants their entire life, Queen bee is quickly replaced once it loses fertility.

Queen bee inspires me to ensure order and simultaneously maintaining humility.

Thing: Question

In school, we're lauded for knowing the right answer but with time we learn that it's the right questions that foreshadow success. Questions inspire me to be curious about everything around us. Right Question can change your outlook in life.

What would your take on this be? Please respond on the comments below!
