The antonym for OKAY is WHY!! you want to know why?? J
Let me tell you how this powerful question works. You wake up every morning, get ready, go to work or school, come back and sleep and the cycle goes on! right? probably yes for most of us...
Now, I am not asking you to question each and every thing in life. Just requesting you to use it appropriately. If you work or study. Ask yourself, what is it going to give you. Sounds simple and stupid. Doesn't it? Trust me, sit for a while and ask your inner self why are you studying or working and search for a scientific answer. The answer maybe something like this "I go to school because I want to be so and so... or I work because I want to earn so and so amount..." Here rises another question. Let me take an example and say "I am studying because I want to become and engineer or I am working as a software engineer so that I can earn and support my family". This leads to one more big WHY??
Ask yourself "why do I want to become an engineer and why not a doctor or a journalist or a lawyer" or "how much do I need to earn to support my family and grow as a good professional". Now if you get an answer good, but if no! you are in problem my friend. Just because your dad asked you to become an engineer and you said OKAY and opted for an engineering course, take it from me, you are heading in the wrong direction and are going to be guilty in the long run (maybe 6 years down the line). The right way is, if he suggests you something, it's just a suggestion. Now it's your responsibility to ask "What course/profession/job or anything should I go for and WHY!"
That makes the question "WHY" real strong and powerful. "Why" is the answer to everything
"Why do I like spending sometime doing something?" - because you like it
"Why engineering and not medical field?" - because maybe you are technically inclined
"Why am I trying so much to earn and is it worth?" - maybe you need to work more, relax or plan
"Why do I fold my hands every morning and say 'Thank you lord!' " - because you believe him
"Why do I love writing" – because I want to propagate my ideas across
"Why I want to propagate my ideas" – To create awareness and make this world a better place to live J
These were a few examples how just one question can make certain things in your life very very simple. You know yourself and your plans in a better way, you do not want to blindly follow what is being said, rather you want to question why it was said, make use of the most powerful thing in this world "MIND" and live a happy, peaceful life :)
Do not forget to ask "WHY??" Do not say “OKAY to everything and follow it, you might land up in shit!”
