You are smart and your questions important!

Noticing some negative words being used here lately (other forums too).

Smart people seek information. Smart people ask lots of questions.

All questions are important. Others learn from our questions.

Many years ago I was taking a class for work dealing with hazardous materials. I was just taking it for information but the others (all men) needed the class to transport the materials.

After the 1st day I was completely confused. The 2nd day started with a different instructor. I felt like an idiot but I raised my hand and said that I was completely confused and didn't understand anything from the previous days class. Much to my surprise. ALL the others in the class admitted they too were just as confused as I was! The instructor was shocked but reviewed all the material.

It was scary to think what could have happened if I didn't speak up. They were transporting hazardous chemicals! Were the others ever going to say anything?

I never forgot that and realized that if I have a question (about anything) others may too but might not ask.

So...ask questions. They are all important. You are brillant just for coming to this forum and seeking information!
