About this Quote

This quote by Levi Strauss speaks with the significance of asking the right concerns in order to get the right answers. It suggests that an expert has the knowledge and experience to supply the responses to any question, but only if the concern is asked in the right way. This is due to the fact that the answer to a question depends upon the context and the method it is asked. If the concern is too broad or too vague, the professional might not be able to provide a meaningful response. On the other hand, if the question is specific and well-defined, the professional can offer an accurate and useful answer. This quote is a reminder that the quality of the answer depends on the quality of the question. Asking the right concerns is important for getting the right answers.
