Good morning! Time to welcome a new day and make sure that we make it great! May be a day were you are not afraid to ask questions. The smartest people are not afraid to admit that they don’t know something. If you claim to know everything, if you never ask for advice or if you revel in being a know-it-all, you are foolish and missing out on the chance to actually become smarter. All of your time spent trying to figure things out on your own could have been filled with learning from people who actually know what they’re talking about. This is why it’s so important to ask questions. A surprising amount of us, however, don’t. But why? We fear asking questions because we don’t want to appear stupid. Humans, so it seems, have lots of pride. Actually, when you ask for advice you are perceived as more capable and when people are asked for advice, they feel more confident, which in turn enhance their opinion of the asker. It’s a positive, two way street: You, the inquirer, get the information you need, and the person who provides the information to you gets a self esteem boost. This is important. People often have an unfounded fear of being inquisitive. They feel ashamed or silly, but truthfully, there is nothing negative that comes from asking questions. At the end of the day, life gets confusing, and we have to ask about it sometimes. Remember, curious individuals are simply able to organise their worlds better. So, the next time you don’t know the answer to something, don’t be afraid to ask. It won’t hurt as much as you think it will :-) youtu.be/m3-hY-hlhBg
