How asking questions has helped me ask better questions and find smarter answers.
One thing I have unabashedly done is ask questions that I believe helped me understand the issue at hand better. Perhaps the questions were ignited by a slow grasping mind, but nevertheless helped me gain a better grasp of the topic I was facing or had been woken up for.
This habit was although still sometimes received with frustration, irritation and even ridicule or what you call a comic relief at the amusement some questions invoked in the more blessed peers.
The questions, after many a times of asking, slowly started turning to answers which was unsurprisingly a result of the questions that had come before.
These questions were never always intended for others across my gaze or at the start of the hall I was eagerly putting my ears to use at. These questions were often directed at myself because I was curious to ask myself before allowing my curious words to annoy the answerer in the firing line of badly constructed lingua franca.
The self doubt of the positive kind was answered by a myriad of tools that have manifested itself over time, ranging from the smarter wonder kid I lost to time, to the young google I typed 10 words per minute onto, to my wife, to thought leaders and visionaries I am fortunate to meet and continue to pester with perennial question pebbles. All adding a bit of wisdom to a sponge of information I fancied myself as.
Now, the question asking side of me has been crucial to my still nascent passion for writing, especially for writing something that I get paid for. Proofreading, researching, learning, cropping, curating, rewriting, expanding or breviating, and others all needs a dash of doubting to present a haute couture of a delicious draft.
So doubt, make sure, search, resolve, incorporate, excel. As they say, there is never a bad question. Or at least never a wasted question.
Keep growing, asking and answering. Cheers. For more, ask questions.
