Ask Questions OR find answers??
Ask Questions OR Find Answers...This thought constantly lingers in my mind...since college time (may be from school time..don't remember exactly). [Absolutely my personal opinion ..No offenses meant]We are told ,since our childhood, by our teachers in school, lecturers in college and trainers in sessions (from hereby onwards referred to as presenters) that ASK QUESTIONS whenever you have a doubt or any such similar feeling :) Hats off to the presenters who are so much supportive as to clarify confusions and doubts from our minds. So far so good....if they clarify the points, the session becomes successful and even if they don't, they usually excuse themselves by citing some or the other reasons. I don't mind :) What happens to many of us after attending successful sessions is that we now understand that asking questions is our prerogative. Again, I agree, it is indeed.This might lead to a tendency - A tendency to ask a question on the slightest of doubts. Mind you, its not confirmation of the personal thought/ideas. They simply ask the question bluntly...not giving a second thought to find the answer of the problem.I have felt this a plenty of times..when the solution/answer is easy to find and is easily achievable by common sense. But somewhere in our minds, we have a feeling that the person to whom we are asking the question/clarification knows all and we are sure of a prompt reply..(What a time saving jig...)But in the process, we lose the knack of solving problems. I am not against asking clarifications for doubts...whether genuine or not. But if time constraints permit, we should probably first try to find the solutions ourselves rather depending on someone else to do the honours!! The answer lies with us mostly.
