There are No Dumb Questions

Finding is Achieved Through Asking

Every question you ask gives you information and information is the first step in improving the quality of ones life. I used to drive my adopted father who I loved dearly up the wall with all my questions. But he always seemed to know the answers and explained them in such a simple and unusual way I couldn’t help but seek him out. Dads gone now but I still miss him a whole lot. Dad if you’re listening I love you.

Always Ask

Sometimes people will kid you when they think your asking a stupid question. I used to have a supervisor who told you something and then expected you to know it from then on. I must confess that learning has always been a challenge for me. So asking repeated questions is part of my nature and I don’t think anything when someone asks me the same question over and over again. I guess I understand because of myself being that way and don’t see it as a problem in other people.

Ask Till Clarity Comes

Whether is bothers people or not one should always keep pushing till the answer is completely understood by you. We all have differences and the way we learn is one of them. I for example ask the question and get the answer right away. But it doesn’t always make sense to me and then maybe hours later the answer is a clear as a bell. Funny how that works, I guess I just need extra time to figure it out.

The Stupid Person is not the Asker

So if you think asking questions makes you look stupid, allow me to share this thought with you. The stupid person is the one laughing but not asking. So if you’re asking you’re the smart one and you can take that information to the bank and make a bundle doing it.

Information Needs Time To Sink In

Remember information is processed by us all in different ways and if your way is to ask the same question more then once do it and know that’s the right process for you. And stop worrying about what others think.

Here’s my last thought. Information is the key to success in life.
