Say you’re sitting in a meeting, and a ridiculously stupid question pops into your head. You should ask the question.
I’m not talking about a stupid question that would demonstrate your complete ignorance about some key concept that’s being discussed; however, you better ask that question, too–the consequences will be less painful if you ask the question before you completely crash and burn.
Let’s get back to the stupid question in the back of your mind, though. There is probably a reason it popped up. Your subconscious probably heard two people trying to make 2+2=5.75 or something.
This nagging thought in the back of your mind is like hearing what sounds vaguely like a choking sound coming from another room. It may be nothing, but it’s now your responsibility to check it out. It will be on your conscience if something goes horribly wrong.
