Asking right question
Asking right question is key to success for those success means freeing from ignorance, attaining knowledge, unfolding the hidden principles of nature. One of the key for effective and quick learning is asking right questions.
It is to research as well. In Research you fundamentally ask a question which no body has the complete answer, and you attempt to answer in your research , revenant to chosen discipline of the study, with gut feeling that it is going to contribute to the whole domain of knowledge base.
How to ask right question?
You ask a question , because you want to know something; So key to asking right question is to articulating clearly what is that you want to know. Listing down the objectives.
Secondly framing clearly the question based on what you want to know keeping the interviewee in mind.
Thirdly and more importantly asking yourself “does the question really answer to what you wanted to know”
Fourth step, you try to give best possible answers to your question by everything you already know of, think of; Once you complete your answer, read it again, if that answers your question completely, Bravo!, you saved yourself from asking a dumb question!. Well, this may sound trivial, but it is not!. For instance, the very question is right about, i.e how to ask write question is something I had in my mind , but never attempted the fourth step, I am describing here before; Now that I asked this question to myself and I wrote the best answer I could think of, if somebody else asked you this, I am reasonably satisfied with my answer, but it does mean I stop asking this question whenever I find the right person at right time, because that will help to understand the better. After all , knowing is a jouney;
Fifth step, If you are not satisfied with answer, reframe the question more specifically so that you get to know something you already not aware of. Thus the reframed question is the right question you are aksing because it has a potential to elevate you from your exisitng knowledge level given you ask this to right person at right place and time in a right manner.
So if you write down, clearly what you want to know, before reading you can filter 90% of junk literature available.
Whether you choose life partner or a job or career, your success will depend on how deeply you are able to ask question. The catch here is that a wrong question can hinder the further questioning process and have negative impression about yourself. On the other hand a right question has the potential to buld the conversation further and extract more.
Research, a quest for knowledge proceeds with asking right questions.
A right question is a question which is valid, gives you the answer you are seeking for and relevant to yourself more than anyone else.
The catch here is even if you ask right question, you may not get the right answer, because right question should be to right person at right place at right time in a right way. Then you may possibly get a right answer say Jayesh Bayya, an IITB graduate , senior teacher in Art of Living.
Most of the time we do otherway, we ask a wrong question to a wrong person at wrong time.
