Question

The important thing is to never stop questioning.

Answer 1

To me, it means that you should never stop investigating your world. What if the founding fathers had just accepted the terms of the British government? What if Pasteur hadn't challenged the Theory of Spontaneous Generation? The smartest people in the world are the ones who ask the most questions.

Answer 2

Well the strait forward answer is that one should never stop learning about everything they can. More important answer is everything should be questioned, without questions nothing is learned or accomplished. If people don't question what they are told they face slavery and/or ignorance. Invention is only gotten through nessesity, and nessesity is only found through questioning. Not questioning is a sign of indifferance.

"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question "How can we eat?" the second by the question "Why do we eat?" and the third by the question "Where shall we have lunch?" "

Answer 3

keep asking questions so you can keep learning about what the topic is. when you stop questioning then what else is there to do. you know when you leave from the person or event that you are questioning about, you will come up with another question. ask some then wait and let someone talk and then ask some more. its not that hard to do.

Answer 4

when you ask questions you learn more so if you never stop questioning you'll never stop learning which in life is the most important thing.

Answer 5

Once you stop questioning things, you stop learning. So the more you question, the more you know.

Answer 6

What you currently know (or think you know), as well as what you don't know (or think you don't know), or other people's current knowledge, you mustn't take for granted and once for all. Why, what, how, when,... that is how most of the discoveries and answers about life in general (as well as one's own) are found.

Never become satisfied with the status quo (ie. as it is).

Answer 7

If you never stop questioning, you'll never stop learning. If you never stop learning, you never stop growing. If you never stop growing, you'll never stop living. If you never stop living, you never die. Enjoy, and live life to it's fullest!
