Asking questions

VALIDATE YOUR ASSUMPTIONS

Assumptions are made, and most assumptions are WRONG. – Albert Einstein.
As much as we listen to and trust our instincts, it is important to be deliberate about the questions we ask. We should also be able to listen to, not just the answers that come from their mouth but the expressions that follow those words. Does it depict falsehood? Is this person confident? Is this person absent minded? Did this person struggle to answer this question? Which one did she show reluctance to answer?
