Toddlers ask dozens of questions an hour, driven by a constant need to figure things out. But as adults, we fall into the trap of thinking we’ve seen it all. We get comfortable, stick to what we know, and stop asking why.

Your questions don’t need to be complex, either. No question is stupid if it drives you to learn more.
