Some people in other to protect their fragile ego, fail to ask questions when they don't know or when they are not clear about a particular thing. They dont want people to see them as "do you mean this guy does not know this?"
Some people honestly wish they can ask questions, but the fear of getting an answer they don't like or not being answered atall constrains them.
Some other people want to ask but are caught up in unnecessary assumptions. We assume a lot and most of the world's problems can be traced to assumptions. We actually think we know, but we don't know!
If we can only understand the importance of asking questions, then we would not let anything or any reason get in the way of our asking when we need to. It's better of ask questions from the start and know what's what.
Some of the importance of asking questions include;
1.It helps you to clarify your thoughts:
Assumption they say is the least form of knowledge,acting based on assumptions even makes a situation worse,rather than act based on what you think you know,why not ask? Asking questions can help you clarify your thoughts and give you more accurate information to work with.
2. It helps you respond better in any situation.
Asking questions helps you to understand a situation better. Instead of responding impulsively and out of control because of what you think you know about the situation, it's better to ask and find out the truth,this will help you to respond calmly and logically.
3.It can help you to boost your knowledge:
We learn everyday and no one knows it all. That's why I love kids,they always want to be on the know and will never give up on any slightest opportunity to ask questions. Keeping a question to yourself will not do you any good. When you get answers to your question, you gain knowledge.
He who ask a question is a fool for Five minutes,he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.
Finally, you can never get lost when you ask questions and it can also save you from an impending danger. If you let go of your ego or any other constraints and ask questions when you don't know, you are wise!
It is also important that we know what kind of questions we ask. Some questions are really very stupid that it pisses off the hearer. So, if you don't know, learn to ask and ask the right questions.
