The confusions of questions.

There is no such thing as a stupid question and you should ask a question whenever you want. The reason you should ask a question whenever you feel like it is because if you’re confused by something you might make a mistake and you would feel bad. I once at work was confused by an instruction. I didn’t ask for help when I was confused then got talked to about my mistake. What was the mistake at work I made you may ask? I didn’t find the jumper cables like my boss had asked me too because I didnt hear him when he told me where they should be. My mistake was not asking what the jumper cables my boss was looking for looked like. When my boss asked me to get the jumper cables, I was confused because I had forgotten what they looked like and I was too worried to ask what the jumper cables looked like and I was also afraid to ask where they were left last, even though he told me before I even asked the question.

Questions may seem stupid in the moment , I once asked how to spell the word “what” I felt so awkward asking how to spell the word what but I did anyway because if I didn’t I would have had way too many spelling mistakes. When asking how to spell “what” it may have been awkward but it was good that I asked because then I found out I couldn’t use the word “what” in every other sentence like I normally do. I have to ask questions in class and yes I am scared to ask them but I still ask them because I know they will help me complete my work, I felt worry because I didnt want my boss to fire me for that little mistake.

Most of my teachers say that “mistakes are the first step to success” One of my teachers who says it the most is my physics teacher, The class I had asked how to spell what in was JMG another step is asking questions no matter where you are especially in the classroom. Most teachers give worksheets that ask questions like math problems or questions you have to answer on an English paper which may feel like stupid questions but you do benifit from them being asked, atleat thats what ive learned over my time in school and my time working.

In conclusion, I thought asking questions is stupid but I learned no question is stupid because questions are the building blocks of learning. I changed overtime and now im not afraid to be asking questions about school or work, even if they do sound stupid or obvious, questions are just another gateway to learning in the world. There is no such thing as a stupid question and you should ask questions whenever and wherever you want no matter where you are even if your at work or school or college or even at home.
