5W1H

I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who

by Rudyard Kipling (1902).

If life is a book or journal... Then basic journalism can be a good analogy... Even if life is an investigation then the principles are still the same which is 5W1H...
They are: 1. What
2.Who
3.When
4.Where
5.Why
6.How
In my opinion, the arrangement of W n H can be in any sequences.
For a journal or writing to be acceptable or rated as complete, these basic questions must be answered before any extra elaboration been included.
If life is a journal then all these basic questions should be answered before any extra colours or spices been added.
I'm not going to explain on each of the basic question but would like to add a different perspective concerning the 'H'. The only 'H' among the five 'W'.
For me, when all 'W' had been answered in life, then the 'H' will be the determinant for life journal to be arranged and polished splendidly.
The finding for all the 'W' answers might take some big portion of a person life and a draft of life journal will be formed during the finding of the 'W' answers.
When all the 'W' were answered and a quite complete draft are formed then the editing and finalising work started by exploitation of the one 'H'.
For me, it is often individual at maturity level will dare to say that they have a complete draft of a life journal.
So, I always b careful not to claim or be overconfident whenever I might find a possible answer to any 'W' because I'm afraid of false facts.
Furthermore, I am still very green in the world, the things that I know all this while might only be information per see and not real facts or knowledge.
In other to minimise the risk, I'm avoiding the generalisation of '5W1' for the whole journal of life. I do this by dividing the journal of life into sub-topic or chapters and tackle each topic by using the '5W1H' principles.
By going into topics, I can explore in details each life issues using '5W1H'. This also will save me from venturing wildly into life topics that are yet suitable for me to handle. Although I had mixed around with all sort of people at various age level, but still I don't consider myself authoritative enough to discussed certain issues of higher maturity stages.
Quite often we meet young adult who is ambitious enough to explore all life issues altogether at the same time without been aware of their limitation thus become confuse and their judgement clouded.
Life is a process, a journey and discoveries so face it with open eyes... Eyes that see not only looking...
May God show me the way...
