The value of asking questions | Karen Maeyens | TEDxUFM

Why should we ask questions? Educator Karen Maeyens explores the power of asking questions as keys that open endless possibilities and allow us to overcome old paradigms. From improving your personal relationships, to the invention of the Polaroid Camera and the foundation of a renowned University in Latin America, Karen talks about the benefits of asking questions and wonders how we can keep a curious spirit ignited. What will your next question be? Director of Continuous Learning department and facilitator training at Universidad Francisco Marroquín in Guatemala City.

This is one of the best Ted Talks I have ever seen. I shared it with my Video Production class today. And we had a discussion about how messaging, chatting, and social media and how they are impairing our ability to really get to talk and learn from other people. They are preparing interviews and this was PERFECT!

[@pouluathuigonmei6686]

So, the story you told us was the mom, the granny did not know why the great grandmother cut off the turkey ‘ s legs. But, the daughter was curious to know why by asking the question to her grandma. That’s interesting!

I asked if a certain telecom company had connections to the Chinese government after seeing a petition on the internet that said something like that after searching for its internet plans and people seemed to be giving spiteful comments even going so far as to search through my profile for personal stuff to hit me with like shaming my parent's name even though I am just asking? Maybe I worded it wrong? I won't know "the truth" they know if they won't tell me and instead flame me... I deleted that comment... I don't want my family being threatened and stuff over questions... I wish I could just be some big villain who burns what he chooses so I can inflict suffering so everybody will be on the same page. I would need to teleport everybody else someplace else so there wouldn't be collateral lives lost because that is sad.

[@beatrizblazquezgarro7888]

The more you ask the better you learn.

[@anubhavajmera8017]

Are you sure about it? That you will learn something or you will end up just wasting the time.

[@CommissarChaotic]

@@anubhavajmera8017 or get flamed by dozens of people who checked my woefully public facebook profile to find personal stuff to threaten me with...

[@takudzwaronaldchingono2614]

[@luxvincunt]

[@nurkennalikhan8942]

survivor error like eistein we can't it's maybe only one case. But for other scienctist it doesn't work.

"Mathematics has the completely false reputation of yielding infallible conclusions. Its infallibility is nothing but identity. Two times two is not four, but it is just two times two, and that is what we call four for short. But four is nothing new at all. And thus it goes on and on in its conclusions, except that in the higher formulas the identity fades out of sight." (Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe)

[@chuckdgaf5204]

Why do we ask questions forever?

[@ZiRR0]

[@chuckdgaf5204]

I thinks our frontal lobe. Evolution has programmed it to ask questions.

[@isaacbernath]
