Question or Answer?

I noticed a slide at the end, in one of the webinar that reads - “Questions? If you don't ask you never know".

I also remember a story of Buddhist scholar and a Zen Master - “Empty your cup”

So for me it works as a two way process –

1. When you ask questions, you get to learn something new from answers
2. When you answer, you share your knowledge/experience with others

Contributing either way makes difference!! :)

Although, I would like to say there should be a balance. In my opinion, we should be striving to stretch in the questions asked and the offering of answers. But, it really depends on what the person believes he/she can contribute/offer to the topic at hand. Sometimes, the question is more important than the actual answer because it gets you thinking... questioning your our approach maybe to some issue. I am still learning much from many of you here Rami, Stephane, George, Sergio, Markus and others. I appreciate you sharing your questions and answers.

I agree tha both ways contributes to the community... good questions, but...

I would ask something else... What about not contributing at all? Or what about those that answers aggresively?

Knowledge should be shared happily :) and we should enjoy life while doing so...

The third trend: members with no questions nor answers - the non-participant.

However, some people just quickly check in, but are too busy to look at the questions & answers. Others see the correct answer and move on to something else. Some do not have an interest in answering at all.
