It never occurs to me being curious is good since the Cantonese always coined it as very nosy, so I’ve grew up learning not to question someone or go deep down into someone’s story. This actually grew into a habit for me in not asking questions when someone tasked me. I never think about what is the purpose of the work, who is the audience, how can I achieve this etc. and all I do simply is saying yes or no if I can accomplish such task.
Tomorrow marks the last day of my supervisor working with me since she has taken a 1-year assignment with another department. I will surely miss her because she’s my guiding hands since the beginning of my GIS career. Everybody loves her diligent work and her keen attitude in providing the best solutions. How does she do that? She simply gathers as much information as she can to the problem by asking many questions which include whether solving this problem will benefit the organization as a whole and whether this will create other interesting work opportunities etc.
To me, she’s definitely a woman of influence who strives for the best by questioning practices and often it will lead to discovery and then to innovation.
So from now on, if you see me asking lots of questions, please do not coin me as nosy :P
