Art of asking right questions

The art of asking questions is a skill that makes reformation in society. In everyday life, we are asking questions like Who, Why, What, How etc. Once Albert Einstein said, “Any fool can ask questions, but a genius can ask right questions”.

Why is asking questions so important?

This is another good question. All philosophers, scientists, reformers are successful because they have good questions to solve. They asked questions, they tried to find good answers for their questions. All discoveries, innovations and reformations are made because of questions that usually may not be Why, Who How etc. But there are questions that really need answers.

How can we ask the right questions?

To ask the right question, we need to become good listeners, good readers and we have to analyze the current scenario thoroughly. Ultimately a good listener can make good questions. For any conversation, if we listen properly, we can find the right question to ask. In any kind of scenario, whether it is in the field of science, social, political or in conversation. We should listen, learn, read, analyze the subject well to arrive at the right questions.

Yes. It’s true the right question makes your life better, and it’s the primary need to achieve your goal. Geetha and Madhu, my trainers in science writing, taught me the need of asking why questions, which made a lot of changes in my approach to writing and the way of listening to a scientific problem.

I think, for asking the right question we have to keep reading, listening to a lot to dig up the questions. So, keep asking questions, the right question may lead to success in our life.
