ENDA Episode 70→ The time when ENDA values the art of questioning
We could have an unlimited source of knowledge that could answer all the mysteries in the world, but it would be useless if we do not know how to ask about them ...
Making a question is something we all do to know the answer to something, but the art of questioning goes further.
➡️ It’s not conforming with what we are being told and we start to ask if it’s all true or if it has been intentional or accidental omissions of information.
➡️ It’s about wondering what is behind what we have already seen or heard. Wondering if there is another side of a matter we do not know yet.
➡️ It’s about asking “Why?” about something until we feel there are no more answers.
➡️ It’s about knowing what to question the right person and how to phrase it in a way that we get the most out of that question.
But above all, it is about asking the right questions. We could have an unlimited source of knowledge that could answer all the mysteries in the world, but it would be useless if we do not know how to ask about them or if we are actually not aware of their existence in the first place.
It is this ability that has allowed me to think before jumping to conclusions and to understand that not everything has an answer, but most things have good questions lying around, and those who know how to make them are the ones who eventually get an answer.
That’s why I respect many of the aspiring journalists I met at that time. Because they showed one skill that I did not know at that time I would value today as a Compositor: making the right questions to find the right solutions.
The journey continues…
