Stay Curious: on asking better questions

A better question is one of the most useful things you can own. Here is how to grow them.

Curiosity is not a fixed trait you are born with or without. It is a muscle, and questions are how you train it. The habit is simple: when something interests you even slightly, ask one more question than you normally would.

Trade why is this boring for what would make this interesting. Trade I already know this for what might I be missing. The questions you ask quietly shape the world you are able to see.
