IF YOU DON'T KNOW ASK

in #nigeria6 years ago

Great Minds,

There is no harm in asking or at rightly put there is very little harm in asking. But there can be a big harm in not asking especially when you don't know. It is important you ask your way out when stranded or when in doubt to avoid falling into danger. As a matter of fact it should part of us to make to know. But you see this aren't happening sometimes. Yes, a lot of people will not ask questions to find there way, they prefer to first fall victim and suffer their lives as sample.

While the above may sound absurd, there are certain factors that shut up ones' mouth from asking. It is true that a lot of people, in fact all persons will inherently want to ask their way out so they don't miss but some factors press them down and prevented them and rather gave them false instinct. Some of the factors include the following;

a. Fear of being looked down. Yes every human want to be valued and respected. So anything that want to take this from them is a NO go area. So in protecting self ego and value, he will not ask even when he is lost already. He prefer to paid the ultimate sacrifice.

b. Fear of what people will say. Some are conscious of what people will sag about them. They don't want people to see them as " what you mean this man don't know this". In asking some fear they may be exposing their inadequacy.

c. Fear they may not be attended to; Some people don't know how to handle disappointment. They fear their questions may not be answered . they feel if I ask him he may not answer me so they just keep quiet and do a guess work.

Having said so, it is crucial to note that asking questions especially when you dong know has awesome advantages and will save you out of danger a lot.
Asking will;

It with help you not to miss your way.
It will help you to know immediately of any impending danger in an environment when you ask.
Asking will open your eyes to know new things.
Asking will give you another view and perception about a situation.

A man that ask will not get lost but he will get wiser.

Ask and know

Live well and enjoy life.

So true, absolutely no harm in asking!

Key is to ask the right question!

Inspiring! Thanks!

Growing up, my mum will always tell us in Igbo language. Onye ajuju anaghi efu uzo. Which means he who asks questions can never miss road. The importance of asking questions cannot be over emphasized.

Nwanne nwanyi, owu ezoku.

Lol. So you are Igbo? I dint know o.

Exactly how I feel about it! I've always gone by the adage, "There's no such thing as a silly question - only silly thing is not to ask." It's worked wonders for me over the years. Very well stated, @princeso!
