Many people ask the wrong questions, which can hinder their work. That's why it is so important to ask the right questions--to get the right answers!

Everyone fears looking stupid in front of other people.

No one wants to ask a silly question and get laughed at. But not asking a question that needs an answer can have consequences that might be just as embarrassing or detrimental.

If you're thinking about it, chances are that someone else is curious too. Your own fears can paralyze you, but deep down if the shoe were on the other foot, you probably wouldn't make fun of someone else for asking questions.

Don't take the hard way and suffer through mistakes, speak up and clear up any confusion!


Do not be afraid to ask dumb questions. They are easier to handle than dumb mistakes.
