What are the questions? How the questioning can open up new areas for discussion? Can they arise to pinpoint an issue, these can assist to clarify information at first may seem shaggy to the listeners.  

These questions invite to help a person‘s journey of self-exploration. Effective question techniques should be determined to get better responses. It is very important as well, to assess the nature of the person's ongoing communion with the individual and the issues at hand.


The role of open questions -:   

what kind of role do open questions are played one’s life? The questions that can not be responded to in a few words, generally these type of questions are raised, to take out more information about the person and his issues. Why, what, when, where, and how all these questions are part of this open questions technique if they are asked in this way, What is that problem which has compelled you to come over here? Why do you think like this? How were you managing things earlier?  

The questions are based on How to make a person feel free to reveal his feelings, which more often leads to the emergence of tough facts, and then brings about information regarding the timings of the problems this can include events and information proceeding or following the event when questions are framed. 

The questions are based on where it informs regarding the situation or place where the event takes place. Why, provides information regarding the reasons for the situations or makes way towards the event. 

One thing should be kept in mind when the questions are asked usually the ‘why’ type of questions provoke feelings of defensiveness, it is the time to encourage a person to try to justify his opinion in the same manner. 

If we are looking for perfection, which can not be seen through questioning.  I would like to say no one is perfect they may be good, better and the best, but there is nothing like perfection because the word perfection sounds very good in hearing but it becomes a "hard nut to crack" when it comes to making to the presence of this word in anyone‘s personality.

Active Listening

This whole process of questions demands not only attentive listening but also active listening. Active listening gives you a chance to understand the story of your close ones and get an opportunity to work on it and later on, it can be easily related to the matter as the way it is perceived and acknowledged. 

This way provides you with the whole picture or scenario of that issue in which the person gets indulged or stands with it. This process allows for holding good relations with that particular person. You should keep making attempts to develop calmness a sense of security and trust in that particular individual. This encourages a person to get softened and be more himself, which helps to give a better understanding of him.

It gives a chance to see what kinds of things or questions can make that person uncomfortable who comes to you in solving an issue. How is that individual reacts to the various emotions that may become visible in his behaviour, tone of voice and whatever has been said and perceived through the responses of body language.? 

These all are the factors that will help you in further sessions of understanding. Active listening is just one of the many resources that a person obtains during the process of listening.

Limitations of. Active listening -:

Active listening is unfortunately not an easy skill to develop so a person should be aware of these limitations, 

Anybody can get clueless about what other people are saying during the process of listening. When a person not only continues to be lost in his thoughts but starts expecting the same reaction, from other individuals and also, the way he is thinking about.

So it has been felt that sometimes the process of suggestions gets very much affected because he has his problem or gets distracted by the social and cultural issues between him and the people involved, and it never lets the discussion go in the right direction. These factors make listening difficult. 

Evaluative listening works as another hinder, it indicates clearly that people use to infer others based on their thought process and they begin to evaluate by tagging them with good/bad, right/wrong, and reliable/non- reliable then they tend to respond evaluatively.

When we start listening to a person or the whole world around us the fact of getting biased can not be ignored. Filtered listening distorts our understanding of the person who is seeking advice. If merely those questions are selected to ask which are either based on the facts or informational type might not be helpful to deliver better results. It is believed that the whole context, forces or themes and core messages should be carefully listened to make the process good enough.

The Importance of Questions-:

Life has got many queries looking for solutions that keep veering around us, but to get better experiences only the relevant questions should be chosen to explore the journey of one's life. The right question will not only provide an accurate answer but will also help in adding more meaning to life. 

As it is known, when the individual begins to ask questions to himself or the questions are asked by somebody else the different pages of life start opening, If these pages have got accuracy in answers, it helps them to gain an idea of, how could the seeds of success turn into a big plant.  

 If a person focuses to know himself in a better way he will always remain curious enough to ask personal questions. The parameters of success can be set easily if a person has got a desire to know himself very well. Always try to ask the better questions, that come out as connected threads in answers, and after that could knit the net of success confidently. 

Every question has an answer only you have to check the power of wisdom in case the attempts are finding answers to queries are failing continuously. Life is too short to know the answer to all the questions but for this reason, don’t stop yourself from asking questions as life is a one-time wonder so it should not be wasted to keep thinking of a second chance.
