Excellent post! This is applicable to all professions and even to students. As an undergrad, I asked very few questions because of the reasons you just mentioned. But when I look back, I realize that it was a mistake. One should cultivate the habit of asking questions as a student so that they stick to that habit in their professional life as well. Thanks for writing this piece -- very inspiring.

[Sandeep Panda](https://hashnode.com/@sandeep) Thanks! Yeah, there are not much room for us to learn and grow without asking questions and clarifying doubts.. I am still learning to get smarter at it 😆.
