So How?

In this information age, no matter what you’re trying to learn, the first crucial step is learning how to ask questions. If Google and Bing can solve your problem, don’t bother others with it.

I have a friend who always likes to ask me extremely abstract questions (concrete ones are fine too, as long as they’re easily answerable just by looking at the words, even though I know they mean something else). Especially when done through WeChat, it turns already inefficient communication into a grueling ordeal. She just drop a question that’s pointless to ask and quickly open a new chat window, which ultimately benefits neither of us. I don’t mean anything else by this, I just think that while abstract weirdos are fine in entertainment, in academics, one should be more specific no matter what. Don’t be a riddler.
