Issac, this post is ageless. I would say the majority, me included, hate to ask questions that may be perceived as ‘stupid’ or ‘dumb.’ I’m one of those persons. People look at you like you’re an idiot. But I’ve realized that if you don’t ask, you don’t learn. So, I started asking questions which others may perceive as dumb or stupid.

Thanks again for the comment, Mohan!! I'm glad to hear you are also asking the hard questions!

Something I realized - when we ask people stupid questions, people enjoy giving advice and answering questions.

They like feeling like the expert even while we feel like a complete amateur for asking the question.

We are actually helping the other person feel better about themselves and increasing our knowledge as well.

Issac, I agree. Sometimes I leave the conversation thinking ‘I wish I hadn’t asked that question.’ But I’m taking that step of asking. Thanks so much!
