This morning I had an experience that inspired this post. It'll be brief, I'm really just writing to vent:-)
I don't know what it is about growing up that teaches us that asking questions will make us look bad. I once heard a saying which encourages seeking clarity as opposed to staying in the dark.
"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever." – Chinese Proverb
I suppose society generally makes it seem like people are born knowing things but in reality, we all are clueless at some point... until we take the time to learn and gain the knowledge about any one topic.
I decided a while back to risk appearing foolish for the sake of gaining information and knowledge and I'm glad that I made that decision - it really has fared me well.
If you gain anything from my little rant, I pray that it's to affirm the importance of seeking clarity whenever in doubt!
