Asking questions goes a long way to help the man who decides to be a fool for a minute become the better of his ask later.
You can not get lost by asking questions and he who is without a might to be fool for a minute will definitely end up being a fool for life.
Learn to ask questions and never feel like a pest or unintelligent because you do. The journey is a long and unending spiraling path that goes on for a lifetime and no man is ever been known to have completed life's journey.
You will never get lost asking for directions and you will know more when you ask about things that are unclear to you. Be a fool for a minute and you will be the better for it.
