and had to stop. That's the worst possible thing you can do! The rest of the article could be full of amazing advice but I'll never know cause it's too hard to read while I'm shaking my head this violently.
Ask questions!
- haydenlee 12y agoThat part isn't the advice. Are you encouraging people to not admit their mistakes?
- jacquesm 12y agoI think you missed an opportunity there. The advice should be 'don't do this, it's better to admit to being a noob and asking for explanation rather than to hold a conversation using words you don't know the meaning of lest you pass up an opportunity to learn something.'. There is no such thing as a stupid question. This reminds me of a conversation I overheard long ago in public transport where two kids were arguing (loudly) about what was the faster computer, Okidata or Brother.
- rdrey 12y agoAt this point I would typically google, but let me ask: I have never heard of Okidata or Brother. Could you explain how this thread reminded you of this conversation and could you describe Okidata and Brother, please?
- greenyoda 12y agoOkidata and Brother are two brands of printers, not computers. The point of his story is that the kids were talking about stuff they didn't have a clue about, which would sound stupid to anyone who did know about it. Someone would look equally stupid throwing around business terms whose meanings they were ignorant of.
