How NOT to ask questions. By author of Mad One bestseller "How NOT to introduce yourself".

It is important to ask questions. It helps one gain knowledge and wisdom. However, I am talking about constructive questions.

Here, I have replicated an actual "Question and Answer" session of a presentation. The words spoken may not be exact, but the meaning remains the same. Even the sequence of the questions are 80% the same. I was attending the presentation and I felt like... shooting that person who ask all these questions. Hahaha. So without further a do... Let get on with it.

The presentation is about nurtrition and eating habits. The audience are all student nurses. So at the end of the presentation, the presentor open up a "Question and Answer" seesion to the audience. This particular person then just keep asking questions upon questions and it goes like this...

Questioner: So as a nurse, how could a nurse ensure having proper nutrition?

Presentor: It is the same with everyone else, through having proper meals and a balanced diet.

Questioner: But a nurse is always so busy, how can we ensure we have proper meals?

Presentor: As I had said earlier, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you think you are going to be very busy, have a good breakfast before work.

Questioner: But morning shift starts at 7am. It is so early, how could we find time to have breakfast?

Presentor: We manage our own time. We can always wake up earlier to ensure our breakfast is taken.

BE PREPARED FOR THE REAL THING FROM HERE...

Questioner: Then how about hydration? Nurses are always so busy. How do we ensure we have enough water for the day?

Presentor: Whenever possible, we could always go and have a drink of water during work. There's always water purifier in the wards.

Questioner: But what if we forget?

Presentor: We can always do something to remind ourselves. Like we can place a water bottle at the nurse station so that we will remember to drink whenever we walk pass the nurse station.

Questioner: But what if the person doesn't have a water bottle?

Presentor: There is always disposable cups at the water purifier.

Questioner: What if there is no more disposable cups?

Presentor: ...

At this point of time, I just wanted to shout, "SHUT UP!!!" Haiz...
