Since I largely lack a formal
education before college, my steadfast Mantra has always been, and always will
be, "If you don't know, if you don't understand, ask"
The things I’ve learned as a result are
often amazing and fulfilling.
Most people can’t wait to explain or
clarify something when asked. The people that have a problem with your asking are
the people that probably don’t know what they’re talking about and see your
curiosity as an afront.
The people who smirk at your questions
usually mean they have coasted through their lives with any curiosity, and you should
not only run from them, but you should also avoid them forever.
Asking when I don’t know has opened
worlds to me in art, literature and history.
