I Need Someone Who – JOBS

“(There’s) no such thing as a stupid question” is a popular phrase that has had a long history. It suggests that the quest for knowledge includes failure, and that just because one person may know less than others they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they already know. In many cases multiple people may not know but are too afraid to ask the “stupid question”; the one who asks the question may in fact be doing a service to those around them.” (copied from Wikipedia)

❇In life, start asking questions of the right person to get your answer. Go to the source to get your answer and #ASK them.
• ❇ASK the recruitment agent the questions you have to get clarity.
• ❇ASK you prospective employer the questions you need to get have answered to get clarity.
• ❇READ the documentation you are given an ASK the person who gave it to you to give you clarity.
• ❇ASK #Google your question and go and search for the information. #READand understand, READ and research to get valuable and legit answers.
• ❇ASK your #legal questions of the right source e.g. Legal Aid, or CCMA or Legal Talk SA.
• ❇ASK the professionals e.g. if you want an answer on how to fix your car you are going to go to a mechanic, not a chef!

❇You are NOT stupid for asking the questions. It is OK to not understand something, but it is NOT OK to walk away confused and unclear and then go and ask questions of others who actually really cannot answer your question or give you the right advice. It I your life, your job, your career, your opportunity – do not let it pass by because you did not ask and question in order to clearly understand. Now that is being “stupid”, and you are not stupid.

Excerpts obtained from Wikipedia on “There are no stupid questions”:
• Carl Sagan, in his work The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark said: “There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question”. (copied from Wikipedia)
• “……. if you ask a question it makes you look stupid for 5 minutes – but if you don’t ask – you stay stupid for fifty years, so always ask questions in your life”. (copied from Wikipedia)
• A 1970 Dear Abby column in The Milwaukee Sentinel said: “There is no such thing as a stupid question if it’s sincere. Better to ask and risk appearing stupid than to continue on your ignorant way and make a stupid mistake. (copied from Wikipedia) #Adminrosebud #Tips #Interview
