Since I had enrolled and become a student of The One Academy of Communication of Design. I became a person that will ask a lot of question when I don't understand of something. And I admit that before this, I'm not this type of person who will ask question and I won't judge is that a stupid question or not.
But somehow there and why are people will think some of the question is stupid? Are those questions really stupid and is there any stupid question in the world? I personally think there are no stupid questions, we assume everybody knows as much as we do but just step back for a minute and think, would you not have asked the exact same question when you start learning about the topic?
When I am doing my research for my assignment, I had come across this two quotes:
"If you ask a question - you will be a fool for 5 minutes, otherwise ignorant for rest of your life"
"If you remain silent, that means you have fully understood or not understood at all. Ask a question to judge yourself of your understanding."
People judge a question if it is a stupid or good question base on their own understanding of the question and they judge it as stupid question if they know well about the question. There are no such things as stupid question but generally they are the easiest to answer. We don't know anything when we are born, and we all have different experiences and different ways of learning things. It's the one who answers the question is smart enough to formulate a understandable answer.
I bet you guys have heard about Thomas Edison. He is the inventor for Electricity and light bulb, Motion Pictures, Phonograph and etc. He did not learn to talk until he was almost four years of age, he start pleading and asking every adult to explain the workings of just about everything he encountered. If they said they didn't know, he asks them why they don't know. All the adult even his teacher are asking him not to ask such a stupid question, but do you know every of this question might be the clue of something.
And today, he became one of the famous and well known inventor, scientist and businessman. So do you ever think before, those inventions of him might be one of the question he asked before?
I am not talking or pin pointing on someone here. So please don't get offend by this topic. But if you have ever saying such a word to someone you know, please don't do that again and think before you act. Your words might hurt and be the factor for them not to ask question again, and this might be the loss of some great invention or design for the future.

if the question raised is that stupid in someone's eyes, the particular person might only seek for attention not understanding...
ReplyDeleteDo you mean the particular person is the one who asking the question ?? And he is just to ask a question to only seek for attention of others?
