Everyone has heard the saying "There is no such thing as a stupid question". After many years of school and now work in the corporate world I would like to take that one step further.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Think about it - how many times have you been sitting in a meeting, or class (or even at a social gathering I suppose) when someone asks a question that is just stupid? Maybe it is something that was just talked about, or maybe it is something you know cannot be answered (legally or otherwise). You know you are thinking "What an idiot" but manners and humanity teaches us to keep our mouths shut and just smile.
While we are in school, we are learning so really, there aren't stupid questions, just not thought out ones - I will give students that. In the older world, I will give you no such excuse, stop being stupid and use your brain. It is what you are paid the big (or small) bucks to do.
