Morning Motivator – The Importance of Asking Questions

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever."
-Chinese Proverb

We are all guided by fear and pride – more than other by fear. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily – it prevents us from danger, poor decision making and long term detriment. However, a fear. of asking questions may be a cause of all the above! Are you afraid to ask questions of people – your supervisor, your colleagues, your loved ones or authority?

The one distinctive trait that allows humans a slightly superiority over other animals is the ability to educate ourselves to higher levels of logic. Now how do you get there? Read a book – ok. Listen to a tape – sure. How about go ask someone that already knows what you want? How about questioning something that is good, in an effort to make it great? Yes, I am that annoying guy that asks questions all the time (and sometimes just to get a different point of view). Asking questions is a critical key to your success – unless you ask YOURSELF questions, you will never know the answers you are seeking internally. Do you ASK yourself QUESTIONS? Do you know WHERE you are GOING?

SUCCESS STEP:
Should your gut tell you to ASK A QUESTION about information you are receiving (or not) – ASK IT! Don't be afraid… there is no harm in asking questions and the person you are communicating with WILL appreciate you desire to be accurate! (wow – this one was simple, eh?)

Cheers,
Zach
