Why do people answer questions on Quora with long stories & opinions rather than facts and evidence?
This happens because of several aspects people on quora when they scroll through the post they only answer those questions which is based on a subject which has somewhere taken place in there lives and then they see that questions and they answer and get 1K upvotes easily.Some get these many upvotes because of the event that tooked place in their lives and writing that as an answer would get you upvotes while there are other who answer it so beautifully that you start thinking that the person must be a qualified one and a writer, lawyer etc. and when you click on their profiles you are taken by surprise that the person is just a student who is either in high school or in college which is just damn astonishing as the language that they use is an absolute treat.Then there are the leaders of the world who share there experiences and trust me you have to read quora for that if not for any reason because there are answers are truly magical ihave been regularly reading the answers of some of the leaders for getting motivation and it is just breathtaking and gets me going for the day generally there answers also gets upvotes too infact 10K or more than that.And as has been stated above that if you want to get facts, stats, figures for a particular answer than why to quora you can go to Wikipedia or just google it and do a research on it then answer similar questions on quora by giving your personal examples and presenting your analogies.
Why do kids stop asking questions?
Kids are naturally curious. If a child stops asking questions it is usually do to the person they are asking response or uncomfortableness. I have always encourages my kids to ask me anything and tell me everything. They are now 21 and 31 and still ask me questions and tell me everything (I think). They have asked the most unexpected questions at times. I would just hide my embarassment and answer them. One day my daughter overheard an adult conversation in the library regarding homosexual males. She came home and at 5 years old asked "how do 2 men have sex? She said "I heard the ladies talking and I wanted to know so I am asking you because you said we can discuss anything". After I picked myself up from the flooI, I got out the old Bert and Ernie dolls and explained it in terms she could understand. We still laugh about it even today. She said-mother I will never again look at Bert and Ernie in the same way. So children should always be encouraged to seek answers. In my home we had one day a month called our ask me anything you ever wanted to know day. The only rules were that I would not get angry or judge anything they ask or tell, and that we all had to be completely honest. My son and I at 21yrs old, still do this even today. The rules remain the same. It is a great way to communicate and bond with your kids. I was not always happy with some things they said but I never judged them. So encourage kids to ask questions and give them honest answers. They will feel secure and trust you endlessly.
How do I find questions I feel qualified to answer on Quora?
Choose a topic or topics you feel you have knowledge on and follow them. Questions will show up in your feed.I just checked, and I have a little over 1000 answers. But I am both old and grumpy, so I have thoughts to offer on many topics. I can’t and won’t claim my answers are the best, nor will I claim my writing is the best. (Go to my profile and read some of them if you like, you’ll see what I mean) I believe the important thing is that my answers are sincere, and I think sincerity is what you should shoot for.I feel an answer should stand on its own, but I don’t guess academic credentials really do any harm beyond possibly lending a bias to the reader. I avoid that, but it is a matter of personal choice.You can learn a lot just by reading questions and selecting the ones you find interesting then reading the answers others have written. When you feel you have something to say or something to add to what has already been said, by all means post it. Remember BNBR (be nice, be respectful) even when a question is neither nice nor respectful (I learned that one the hard way, and I was nicer and more respectful in my answer than the OP was in the question).Don’t be afraid of being wrong, but remember to make a correction when you find a mistake in what you have written. Also, don’t be afraid to point out a mistake in something others have written - yes, even mine, I would appreciate it - but again, remember BNBR.I haven’t participated here very long, but have found much value in reading the words of others and in posting my own. We learn from each other, taking what is given and giving back what we can.Good luck to you. I will follow you and look forward to reading what you have to say when you feel comfortable saying it.
Is it rude to ask the person who answered your question on Quora about their credibility, to see if they are qualified to give advice on the topic?
That’s the beauty of Quora. You do not know if someone is authentic or fraudulent. You have to take people at their word. I believe if someone answers a question, it is highly likely that they have the capacity to answer. That doesn’t mean that they have education backing their answer. Maybe they are really great at research or they know someone that can give them the answer.I do not believe that I need to ask someone if they are qualified. Usually, the truth will come out in the answer and/or the comment section. I remember Kittie Eubank discovering that a teenager was pretending to be a pilot/Secret Service/ex-military member (if memory serves me correctly). I definitely remember the young man confessing and changing his Quora account to reflect his true identity.That is why it is very important to be like President Reagan with the Russians in the 1980’s. His motto was “Trust, but verify.” As a reader, you must verify what you read. You should not swallow hook, line, and sinker everything that you read. That is not wise or valuable for your growth and development.Finally, in real life, people talk about all sorts of random topics all day long as if they were experts. I never hear people stop other people in the middle of conversations and ask them if they are qualified. It’s just not a thing that people do to other people. You take people at their word, but you still verify.Bonus Story: Working at a university, I quickly discovered that professors constantly give advice in areas where they are not qualified to speak, they misspeak in class, they spread unfounded rumors and they misuse the English language.
What are the best answers for "Why should I hire you"?
Following happened last week during my interview for internship at Microsoft.A little background - It was the third round of interview, which was the HR round. I had performed well in previous two technical interview rounds. But being a non computer science student with no experience with any projects or internships in programming, I had faced my difficulties in answering questions that demanded previous projects/experience.Interviewer - So, Sumit, this is the final question for you. Why should we hire you? Why Microsoft?Me - *thinks for a moment* Sir, shall I give you the answer that I prepared or shall I give you an honest answer?Interviewer - I can listen to them both.Me - I will start with the one I prepared. Sir, you should hire me because even though I do not have any prior experience, I do have the ability to learn and perform. And whatever would be expected of me at Microsoft, I would certainly deliver it with my best abilities and hard work.Interviewer - Impressive. And what’s the honest answer?Me - Sir, 19 years ago, Microsoft created a game named Age of Empires. I am sure you have heard the name. And it’s more than just a video game. It actually requires you to think analytically and come up with the best combinations and timings of your army units to win. Sir when I was really depressed last year, I used to play this game day and night. I used to look up to this game as a challenge. I did all the research, I knew all the civilizations and the best algorithms for all the maps. Sir, not only this game saved me from doing something stupid, it also kept my analytical thinking alive. Had I taken some other bad habit to vent out my depression, I would have thoroughly screwed my life. Sir, I want to create something so simple and yet so amazing like that game. And that’s why Microsoft should hire me.He had a wide grin on his face by the time I ended my short speech.Interviewer - Sumit you are certainly creative. Any questions for us?Me - Am I selected?He gave me the most wonderful smile and said “It’s a yes from my side, we will just have to look at your technical rounds performance.”And later that evening, my friend Ayush Tabhane woke me up from a deep sleep after a long day as he shouted “Microsoft results are out. You’re selected!!!”
What should i answer when the interviewer asks me why do you deserve this job more than others?
you should talk about your special abilities on that job....
What does it mean to qualify a source?
I will give you a "best guess" and then some advice. My belief is that "qualify a source" means to explain how the source knows what he is talking about and is competent to make the statements which you are using to support an idea. For example, if you say, "Dr. I. Hakankoff says that smoking is good for you." You have used a source, but how do we know that we can trust what he says? To "qualify the source" is to say something like "Dr. I. Hakankoff, the expert on smoking and the body, who has written three books on the subject and advises the U.S. surgeon general, says that smoking is good for you." Now we know whether to believe him or not. And, as promised, here's the advice. Don't be afraid to ask your instructor to explain something to you if you do not understand. Ask the speech teacher personally what it means to "qualify a source." You will probably get an explanation very much like mine, but in the event that he has something different in mind, you should get the correct answer. Never assume you'll "look stupid." The teacher is there to answer your questions.
How do you know whether to trust someone? scorpio moon?
In "Astrology and Sexual Analysis" by Morris Goodman,:"aries and Sagittarius group members would hardly be stimulated by cancer people, and this combination would become tiresome for both. He suggests the cancer person really discovers their sexuality after 50. A great partner is Capricorn. Cancer women could marry Gemini men - who might stray. And a working relationship with Leo could be established. Having sun and moon both in water signs, you have a deep feeling nature and many people will not understand that. They may unintentionally hurt your feelings.Practice forgiveness and save yourself much grief.
How do I trust someone smarter than me and how am I supposed to trust anything including myself if I'm not qualified enough to determine the truth?
“I’m not qualified enough to determine the truth.”Who taught you this? Whererin have these lies taken root within you? Please, disregard such thoughts and do not give place to them.Truth itself is no respecter of persons.At any rate, you ask how you are to trust someone who is smarter than you.. Yet I ask, in what way are they smarter? And now, of those ways, which of them are to be interpreted as ways that would make you trust them less? Your answer should be “none of them.”Intelligence has nothing to do with honesty.To treat your lack of trust in others, you must first begin to trust yourself. There must be a rock that you yourself stand upon. Here is an example:You are a tree. As the sun rises in the east, your shadow stretches to the west. You hear your tree friend across the world state, “my shadow stretches east, as the sun sets in the west; So, goodnight!”Your tree friend, who you admire for their intelligence, is not wrong. And neither would you be wrong, for your shadows are relative to your circumstances. Thus, if you were to say, “at six AM my shadow will stretch to the west,” you are correct, yet that is relative to your standing upon the world, and would be incorrect for your wise friend if taken from that very perspective.It is a bad comparison, but I want you to see that truth is often relative to where we stand. Some things, however, are not (Natural Laws).You can trust those who are, undoubtedly, truly smarter than you. Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions. Whether you trust them or not should be something you've decided, not something I decided for you.Best of luck.
