Diligence and good questions

Starting from elementary school, the teacher gave us "diligence and good questions" in education. This kind of guiding ideology has greatly affected me, so that for some time I even felt that, hard work is not enough to ask questions.

"Diligence and good inquiry" is an ancient training. In ancient times when information was not developed, it was indeed a quick way to improve oneself-on the one hand, knowledge is in the hands of a few people, we use the method of transferring data from generation to generation. On the other hand, in my opinion, many of our learning lacks effective systematization, point-to-Point Understanding can only be more effective through the "Ask" method.

In essence, "Ask" is a kind of help. Seeking for help is more advantageous than cheating, but it is often not seen for the target. For me, I usually receive N "Ask" emails every day, or I am asked some questions on QQ or MSN (of course, I am not always on QQ or MSN. Of course, from the perspective of the target, I should feel happy and grateful for my trust and trust. But the reality is that when faced with these "problems, but it made me very embarrassed.

The reason for me to feel embarrassed is that a considerable number of questions I have asked do not need to be answered by a single person. Generally speaking, if you enter some keywords in Google, you can find 5-6 pages in the query results to find the answer. For the motives of this part of the question, my good-faith guess should be that the idea of "diligence and good questioning" has a deep influence on everyone, as a result, it is customary to send emails when you do not know whether you can solve this problem on your own.

In my opinion, asking for help from others is an irresponsible and lazy action before the question is not sure whether it is beyond the limits of your ability. Because, in essence, capturing others' time is like Lu Xun's saying that wasting others' time is tantamount to money-of course, I did not condemn those who raised questions to me for making money or killing me. I just faithfully quoted Mr. Lu Xun's statement.

Eric Steven Raymond (author of Cathedral and market) wrote a famous "how to ask questions the smart way" (http://www.catb.org /~ (E-hpc/FAQs/smart-questions.html), Chinese translation into ask wisdom, should be able to search this article on GoogleArticleAn earlier Chinese version.

In this article, there is a powerful word:

Never think that you are qualified to get the answer. You are not qualified. After all, you have not paid for such a service. You need to "earn" the answer by yourself, by proposing a question with connotation, fun, and creative thinking.CommunityExperience has potential contributions, not just passively asking for knowledge from others ......

In my heart, I very much agree with Raymond's words: You have to "earn" your own answer. In my opinion, to put it simply, the question is roughly three points:

1. No one is obligated to answer your questions, so please do not yell at me "why no one answered my questions? Where is it ?" -- The more advanced you are, the more valuable time you are. The root cause may be that your problems are not worth their time;
2. Do not turn a question into a simple request. Your question will only attract the attention of others when it brings the same value and gains to others, therefore, please do not yell at the Forum as "I cannot understand this passage. Who can tell me?"
3. Ask others only when you confirm that you cannot solve this problem. "OK" means that you cannot obtain information about this problem from any other source,I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it..
