Why asking questions is the best way to learn

Do you remember being a child and asking endless questions?
“Why is the sky blue?”
“How do birds fly?”
“Where does the sun go at night?”

Children are naturally curious. They don’t worry about whether a question sounds silly—they just ask. And in doing so, they learn about the world at a rapid pace.

As adults, many of us lose that fearless curiosity. We worry about looking foolish, being judged, or slowing others down. So instead of asking, we nod politely, pretend we understand, and move on—sometimes missing opportunities to grow.

But here’s the truth: the most successful, fulfilled, and wise people never stop asking questions. They know that asking isn’t a weakness; it’s the gateway to understanding, connection, and learning.

In this episode, I’ll explore why asking questions is essential for growth, what kinds of questions help us learn the most, and how you can make questioning a natural, joyful habit in everyday life.
