An expert is not someone who gives you the answer, it is someone who asks you the right question. — © Eliyahu M. Goldratt
An expert is not someone who gives you the answer, it is someone who asks you the right question.
If someone asks me a question, there might be a truthful answer and a correct answer.
If someone asks me a question it is very difficult not to answer honestly.
If someone asks me a question, it is very difficult not to answer honestly.
On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
Every time someone asks me where I'm from, I'm not sure how to answer that question... so I say I have no roots.
I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.
If someone looks genuinely interested and asks me a deeply personal question, I'll give the answer. I'm too open.
If someone asks a stupid question, you can only give a stupid answer or appear arrogant.
On some positions, cowardice asks the question, is it expedient? And then expedience comes along and asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? Conscience asks the question, is it right? There comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right.
If someone gives you a piece of advice that sounds right and feels right, use it. If someone gives you a piece of advice that sounds right and feels wrong, don’t waste so much as a single second on it. It may be fine for someone else, but not for you.
In my opinion there are two basic questions that any writer tries to answer. "What is?" is the question non-fiction asks. "What if?" is the question fiction asks. That's the question I'm more interested in.
When someone asks, 'Why do you think he's not calling me?' there's always one answer - 'He's not interested.' There's not ever any other answer.
Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.
If you see someone struggling, offer input. If someone comes to you with a question, don't assume they should seek a higher up for the answer.
I'm someone who likes to question things that are put in front of me, I like to think I'm someone who asks 'why sir?' not a 'yes sir.'
When someone asks you the question 'Are you ticklish' it doesn't matter if you say yes or no, cause they're going to touch you. If someone asks if you're ticklish and you don't want to be touched you should something like 'I have diarrhea, now don't touch me cause you'll make it come out... and yes I'm very ticklish'.
