The power to question is the basis of all human progress. – Indira Gandhi
By doubting we are led to question, by questioning we arrive at the truth. - Peter Abelard
The author read the
following quote recently and took time to contemplate how she uses questions:
Effective
questioning brings insight, which fuels curiosity, which cultivates wisdom. –
Chip Bell
Dreamers and
goal-achievers can ask questions to unlock the door to new ideas, experiences,
adventures, etc. Asking questions can
also solve problems. By asking
questions, we learn from other people’s experiences and implement ideas to help
move us along on our journey faster by learning from others. The most important thing to know about
questions is that they have to be asked.
Never be afraid to ask a question.
The only stupid question is the
question that is never asked. ― Ramon Bautista, Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush

To use questions as
a learning tool, the questions should be open-ended and include one of “The
5Ws”: who, what, where, when and why. In
Darren Hardy’s podcast titled “Two Tricks to Asking Better Questions”, he states
that questions should be open-ended with an emphasis on how. Second, asking follow up questions brings clarification,
produces more knowledge and provides the opportunity to dive deeper into an answer
helping the reader learn more.
ACTION: Take time
this week to listen to the questions you ask.
Do they allow for people to talk or do they close the conversation down
by not allowing the individual to speak?
Learn from your analysis and tweak the way you ask questions to help increase
your knowledge.
