How Wonder Allows you to NOT to be THAT GUY.

How Wonder Is Used Everywhere

Being that guy is not the ideal position. An action that can help you avoid being that guy, is simply asking yourself questions. You never know what you could learn or what you could further mature and develop to be. Asking question to your favor can show confidence. Asking a question about your health can help prevent sicknesses, infections, and out of place subcutaneous bacteria. Asking questions can also do more than what you think it can. When sick, it is important to ask your self-are you hydrating, or are you desiccating yourself? Going on trips, achieving good grades, and much more good can come from simply asking questions to better inform your future self. In a daily life of school, sports, and friends, your safety, fun, and physical state and noxious situations are always in question. every minute of everyday questions is being asked. Even though it's a simple and easy action, asking questions is used in kindergarten classrooms and even the oval office. The point is, there is no place where questions aren't accepted or used because humans will not and would not of advanced or succeeded life to this day without asking questions to obtain different answers to better inform the future for others. An example of this is in the novel Into Thin Air, "I sat down to rest on a broad, sloping edge, but after a few minutes a deafening BOOM!" (Krauker 200). The author was aware of the surroundings, heard a knack from up the mountain, and was able to ask the question what was that so the author could identifies what was happening and what they could do to avoid any inconvenience or injury. Another example within the oval office is that making decisions is critical for the country's benefits. In this link, President Barack Obama gives his final speech to promote the drive, focus, and positivity towards the future for the people of the United States. If you could graph just the United States on who asks questions, you would have a motley sheet of paper, because every single person does. From the lowest social class to the riches of the rich, everybody makes choices, and asks questions every day, every place. Humans have come to evolve into problem solvers which address the issue or unknown first handed. 


Asking questions and informing yourself is how you will succeed. I went on a trip to Costa Rica and asked myself, what is different here than at home? Why is this trip so different than the last one? The answer sometimes is hidden right in front of you and sometimes it is hidden within many layers of camouflage and answers.

  1. I think this topic is very interesting, and i agree that asking questions eliminates ignorance and has positive outcomes in the future. How long do you think it takes to ask "too many questions" if that's a thing?
