Asking Questions

Ever wondered why we always have so many questions?

Questions to make you look BRILLIANT
Bibo kids in the corporate world would never miss an opportunity to ask questions during coffee talks or business meetings. 'What is the company's strategy to address this problem X, where are we heading in the next couple of months, are we adapting this blah.. to surpass this crisis..?' Am really curious what makes this people so passionate about such trashy stuff :p Typical classroom setup, may grade ba ito for recitation kaya tanong ng tanong? :p

Questions to make you look POLITE
Seems like we are obliged to ask people 'kumain ka na' or 'kain tayo' whenever we ourselves are eating. Sa totoo lng, pag hindi mo gusto yun taong inaalokan mo, parang takot ka pa na sumagot cya ng 'oo', patay the food is not enough for yourself pano ka pa magshare. wehehe.

Questions to make you look INTERESTED
Sometimes para hndi mapahiya ang kausap mo (eg dates), you have to think of so many topics and so many questions para lng hindi ka mablanko. Awkward :p. Just to show that small piece of care and concern, cge isip-isip, tanong-tanong pa.

Hmm normally I would ask questions only when I need an answer, like asking for instructions. Or when I'm in my kulit mode, yes I have lots of questions :p Somehow I also find it hard to pop essential questions that are really circling in my head.

Would you still ask a question:
- If you know you won't get a clear answer at all?
- If you know you won't get the answer that you wanted?
- If you think it would only lead to more confusion and more questions?
- If you think it's something that's gonna affect how people think of you?
- If you know you'll be pissed if you get the beating-around-the-bush type of answers?

Hmm if your answer is yes, then I applaud you! :) Would you rather die without knowing any hint of answers? Asking's not gonna kill you right?!

Still. I'm a chicken. I hope I won't have to be in situations where I have to ask. Borrowing a favorite term from the anaps, 'tell me' haha.
