International Ask A Question Day is on March 13. Its goal is to improve our knowledge and lives by asking more and better questions. The Inquiry Institute tells us that “A question not asked is a door not opened.” The best question askers know how to open many doors, even locked ones! The QuestionDay.com website encourages us to become an “outstanding question asker”. It tells us how we can build our “curiosity muscle” to make us more successful in life by asking the right questions. Part of who we are is to ask questions and fully using the power of questions. It is one of the first things infants do when they learn to talk. Small children are outstanding at asking very difficult questions，just ask any parent!
國際提問日會在每年的3月13日舉行。該節日的目的是通過問更多，更好的問題來提升自己的知識水平，改善人們的生活。調查協會告訴我們稱，“未被問到的問題就像是關著的一扇門”。杰出的提問者知道如何開門，甚至是一扇帶鎖的門！QuestionDay.com網站鼓勵人們成為“杰出的提問者”。通過詢問好問題，我們能夠建筑起“好奇的力量”，從而讓人生更加成功。人們應該積極問問題，充分利用好問題給人們帶來的力量。嬰兒在開始學習說話時，首先要做的一件事就是問問題。許多兒童能夠問出許多難題，去詢問自己的父母吧！
The Inquiry Institute has a list of the top twelve questions that will bring you success. These include asking yourself exactly what it is you want, and then making sure your question answers this. Another good question is “How else can I think about this?” Such a question can make you look at a situation from a different angle and give you new and better ideas and questions. There is also a question that gets you to look at a situation from the viewpoint of others: “What is the other person thinking, feeling, and wanting?” This may give you successful questions in a business deal. A follow-up question could be “How can I turn this into a win-win situation?” The final question on their list is: “What is possible?” This is a great question to ask. Ask it today.
調查協會列出了12個能夠讓你成功的問題。包括詢問自己想要什么，確保你的問題能夠回答它。還有就是“對于這個我還能怎么想？”這些問題能夠讓你從不同角度考慮事情，并讓你有更新穎，更好的問題。還有一個問題是從他人的角度來看事情：“他人是怎么想的，有何感受，想要什么”。這或許會讓你在商業談判中說出這些問題。緊跟著就會問“我如何將其變成雙贏的局面？”這12個問題中的最后一個是：“有什么可能性？”這是一個好問題。今天就問吧。
