Today's Thoughts
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
Chinese Proverb

A young friend recently made a comment that surprised me. She said someone intimated to her that to asks questions made a person appear foolish. I contemplated this for a moment and, realizing that it makes no sense and goes against all the teaching I have ever heard, I told her that it was probably better to appear foolish for the short time it took to gather the information, and then be all the wiser ever after. Of course, I never think of decent phrasing on the spur of the moment, so I don't know how it came across to her.

The ShugaBowl
