This episode teaches the importance of asking questions and why it is better to be informed about how things are rather than just staying clueless just because you are afraid to ask the wrong questions to someone.
Critical Way of Learning Through Questioning
[01:41]
Those who make the most progress in life are also the ones who ask the most questions. All of the things you haven’t realized, all of the things you don’t know yet, all of the things you haven’t worked out yet are entwined in one trick. The difficulty is to ask the right question. The rule of thumb is that the crazier the questions, the better because ordinary queries will elicit expected responses.
[03:05]
Push yourself to ask outlandish questions that have never been posted before. Push yourself and think, “What kind of wild question can I ask today?” Or, more specifically, what question have I not asked that will be powerful or valuable in moving me forward? The important thing here is to keep going forward. You’re asking a question to move forward because if you don’t ask questions to go backward, you’ll be stuck in the past.
Ask Quality Questions
[04:39]
Improve your ability to ask high-quality inquiries. The quantity and quality of the questions you ask yourself will decide the amount and quality of your knowledge. So, if you want to broaden your thinking, if you’re going to expand your knowledge base, ask as many questions as you can. It’s a question to which you know the answer will propel you forward and provide you with a solution that will result in a breakthrough, which will lead to some form of creativity.
[05:32]
Some questions cause people to become trapped. If you ask why I’m stuck? Eventually, you will remain stuck. If you ask yourself, “How can I move forward?” you will find yourself moving forward. “How can I move forward?” is a question that will take you to a future, and it is a question that will spark potential. It would help if you continued to push the boundaries.
[06:38]
The only stupid question is the one that is not asked, according to a Chinese proverb. Part of what holds us back as adults are our apprehension to ask specific questions, fearing that we may offer a question that will not be of good record or be laughed at. Or it may be, you know, mocked. Quite often, the reverse is true. As part of the attitude, you must have that sense of freedom to ask questions, regardless of your worries or misgivings.
Every Question is Valid
[07:49]
Do not pass judgment on the type of question you are posing. Instead, be extremely cautious not to pass up an opportunity. Inquire since this could be the tipping point in your life. Please ask any questions you have. Even if you’re not sure, ask. You may appear silly once when you ask, but if you are to regret it, you may regret it for a lifetime. So you don’t want to live your life regretting that you didn’t ask the question.
Ask the right people
[08:49]
When asking questions, keep in mind that the individuals who will offer you the answers are the ones who will give you the breakthroughs or where you’re most likely to get the solution because questioning folks who won’t give you answers is pointless. If you have a question, please ask it right away. When you wait for an extended period, you may forget about the question you asked.
[13:17]
Nothing should be taken for granted. When you’re unsure, ask questions. Pose inquiries. Ask inquiries rather than making assumptions because your assumptions may be incorrect. You’d rather ask a question to confirm, disprove, or verify anything than make a mistake that could land you in serious problems down the road.
Children as Mentors
[15:36]
Allow our children, or the children in our immediate vicinity, to serve as our teachers. When it comes to today’s unexpected occurrences, children have a lot to teach us as adults. Their brain has not yet been indebted to all of the programs, beliefs, and knowledge. They have an open mind. Children have a lot to teach us, so be alert and pay attention to them. Because they are constantly asking questions, children are the best teachers when it comes to the concept of inquiring.
Key Advice
[20:08]
Never be afraid to ask questions. Even if some people may think your queries are ridiculous, it’s better to appear foolish in front of others when you’re asking questions than to remain ignorant. Asking questions is an excellent approach to learning. Feel free to ask bizarre questions; the stranger, the better. That’s where the breakthroughs happen.
