One Way To Be Strong

The fool wonders, the wise man asks. – Benjamin Disraeli

People say there are no dumb questions.

It’s mostly true . . . . (There are questions that intelligently created and artfully asked, those are really not dumb questions).

There’s no better way to keep yourself small and weak than to not ask questions.

Ask questions:

about yourself,

about others,

about how things work,

about how they sometimes don’t work,

about what you love,

about what bothers you,

and, perhaps most importantly, about what you want.

Be wise, ask . . .
