Questioning makes you wise

I am reading an interesting book these days – “A more beautiful question”. The proportion in the book is that our ability to ask better questions will make us more intelligent in the emerging world.

Today information is readily available on tap. So knowledge need not be accumulated in our minds. We simply need to know how to tap it.

So just like we exercise our body, do we spend time training our mind to ask the right questions? Do we really have this skill of asking questions that can lead to some breakthrough learning? Are we brave enough to ask to these questions in a group setting? Are we able to get over our lethargy and learn the right skills that would be relevant in a fast changing world? Are we humble enough to accept that sometimes we need help of experts to ask the right questions?

Today knowing the answers is not enough – it is our ability to raise the correct questions that lead us to the answers is more important.
