K...Thanks Kishore and Amit for sharing your views.<br /><br />Kishore: Completely agree with you. Culture of Asking isn't supposed to replace the culture of inquisitiveness and discovery. <br />These really go together, and should be encouraged. <br />Stretching your example, it'll be great if the kid can pick up a dictionary, but in case he does not 'feel like it' (you've heard that!), he should not hesitate to ask.<br /><br />Amit: I agree, questions show inquisitiveness, which is pointer to interest in whatever you are involved with. A Job, a hobby or anything else.<br /><br />>>How do you gauge whether a person is asking questions just to impress you or does he really mean it. <br /><br />My view on this would be: In general, "not to judge" the intent. As you said earlier, Listen and respond best you can, in given circumstances. <br /><br />Even if the question is asked to impress you or other participants, a response may benefit many.<br /><br />At times, You can always ask the person to initiate a thread later (of "Offline"). If he/she is genuinely interested, a followup thread will happen else not.Rahul Goyalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11699529894898934930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268244182338733895.post-78496324966935749572010-07-27T21:35:03.041-07:002010-07-27T21:35:03.041-07:00Hii,

If a person is in a job which he loves, you can differentiate his questions from others who take work as an 8 to 5 routine.<br /><br />One question for you:<br />How do you gauge whether a person is asking questions just to impress you or does he really mean it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268244182338733895.post-29589975980292865722010-07-23T02:16:00.949-07:002010-07-23T02:16:00.949-07:00Hii,

It has been observed that people who listen more and talk less are very successful professionally.<br />But I opine that both the traits, i.e., Listening and Asking are equally important for one to succeed in life....with honesty for work...after all work is something more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8268244182338733895.post-13333393817625914332010-07-21T09:24:56.965-07:002010-07-21T09:24:56.965-07:00Interesting and Important.

So, What is your motivation behind starting this blog? ;)<br /><br />One drawback of cultivating a habit of just "Asking" (literally), minimizes the importance of discoveries, knowledge you might stumble upon in your quest for answer. More often or not, asking is taken literally when it should actually be in context of “seeking”. Would you want to differentiate between a child’s efforts in looking for meaning of a word – ask his/her parent or pick a dictionary? In both the cases child is seeking meaning of the word that he/she is unaware off. Chances are when going thru the dictionary he/she might find some other interesting words. <br /><br />Key is to balance knowledge seeking against inquisitiveness and available time. Definitely agree of the fact - don't assume.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039338523329470294noreply@blogger.com
