Can a Wise Man Learn More from a Foolish Question than a Fool from a Wise Answer? Why intelligence isn’t just what you know, but how you  engage  with what you don’t Some of the greatest leaps in understanding have come not from brilliance alone, but from an openness to explore the seemingly absurd.

The Paradox of the “Foolish” Question We often label questions as foolish when they challenge convention, overlook basics, or come from naive perspectives. Yet these very attrib...

  What Are the Benefits of Question-a-Day? One Simple Daily Habit That Quietly Rewires Your Brain In an age where AI can answer almost anything, your ability to ask the  right  question matters more than ever. As generative tools handle the “answer-giving,” human value increasingly lies in question-asking, interpretation, and insight-generation. Which makes this finding from Harvard Business School especially relevant: structured daily reflection improves learning retention by 23% compared to experience alone. That’s the difference between having an experience and truly learning from it. This simple practice builds what psychologists call metacognition, the ability to observe and direct your own thinking. In a world overflowing with noise, the habit of Question-a-Day becomes a rare moment of clarity. “Structured reflection doesn’t just help you process the past—it prepares you for the future.” — Giada Di Stefano, Harvard Business School Why One Daily Question Works Self-r...

Is There a Market for Learning to Ask Better Questions? Why curiosity training is becoming a billion-dollar industry  Reframing the Question The global corporate training market hit  $366 billion in 2023 , but here’s what’s fascinating: while companies spend millions on technical skills, they’re realizing their biggest bottleneck isn’t knowledge—it’s knowing what questions to ask. From Google’s “20% time” policy to Stanford’s design-thinking workshops, organizations are paying premium prices to train inquiry. This isn’t soft-skills fluff anymore. It’s strategy. And it’s being packaged, sold, and scaled across industries. The Economic Case for Question Training Poor questioning has a measurable cost: Bad hiring decisions  cost up to 5x an employee’s salary, often because interviews ask the wrong questions.
