No One Has All The Answers

One of the fundamental truths of life is that there will always be questions.

We come up with answers to questions on a daily basis, but new answers can often result in new questions.

No matter how far we advance as a species, we will always have questions that need answers. It can feel uncomfortable asking questions. Questions imply that we don’t have the answer, which in turn, can make us feel stupid.

It’s one of the reasons a lot of us don’t like asking for help for fear of being ridiculed. While this is a fear many of us hold, it is not a legitimate one.

Questions are vital to ask. They allow us to plug gaps in our knowledge and they are one of the most important ways we advance as a species.

Without questions and our inquisitive nature we would have not developed to the point we have reached today. Questions are a vital part of our existence and we should not be afraid to ask them.

When we feel afraid of asking a question for fear of ridicule, it’s important to remember that no matter how smart someone is, or was, no one has all the answers.

Question Everything

I have recently bought the last book written by Stephen Hawking before his death, Brief Answers To The Big Questions.
