What do I need to improve?

Okay, here we go. I started reading a book today about questions. It was written by Elder Nelson's wife, Wendy Watson Nelson. I am finding it very interesting so far. She talks about how questions can affect our lives and relationships and everything around us. Questions help us reflect. As I was reading, I realized that I hardly ever question anything in a positive way. She would prompt me to think about questions I have asked myself or others and I could rarely think of anything! I hope this helps me to improve. One part stood out a lot. Brigham Young was once reprimanded publicly by Joseph Smith, and instead of defending himself or anything that I would naturally do, he asked a question: "What do you want me to do?" I think that question opened a lot of doors and provided an opportunity for reflection and sincerity. I hope I can do the same.
