Question to ask. Or not.
Have you ever sat in class and just not understood something an then wondered if it would be too stupid to ask? i know i have. and then when you finally ask it, it really is too stupid, well the teacher says so, or maybe you just really had something to ask and then it’s so hard to explain where your going with it that you just keep on talking and at some point you even loose you self. Not, at-least you could just be the kind of person who loves asking questions because you seek knowledge. i think it was a fortune cookie that I once came across that said “he who asks will be stupid for a moment, but he who doesn’t will be stupid for a life time.” perfection is what we aim for but what we need is questions for perfection, but when do you know if when you are asking is a stupid question? What is a stupid question? And how do we define it? Right before a test in school we were always told not to ask stupid questions and that was fine for me. But what about the people who just can’t draw the line between stupid and okay. Are they the people who ends up asking the questions or are they just going to ask questions about it at all because they don’t really know if it will count on there grades, or it just will get the teacher really angry. We never really know, do we?
So consider this… is there such thing as a stupid question? and in the case doesn’t it really compares more to the mood or just personal boundaries of the person who asks and is being asked?
Personally I don’t believe in stupid questions I believe in questions that haven’t been considered enough before asked. Or maybe they were considered but brain capacity for some people in measured in the countdown of seconds.
So what if your teacher is having a bad day? Isn’t everything just getting considered stupid then? So remember, questions are about the situation, the place, the people, and as once heard in a youtube video, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
And remember if the question is considered widely stupid you might want to wait till you have the person you want to ask under four eyes. And if it’s something you really have to ask there at the moment then tuff luck the world can be an evil place.
