A statement is a close-ended thing.<\/p>\n

“I can’t do this.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A question is open-ended.<\/p>\n

‘Why can’t I do this?’<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I don’t know how to.”<\/p>\n

‘How do I learn to?’<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One keeps you where you are, the other gets you where you want to go.<\/p>\n

“This is my best.”<\/p>\n

“How can I improve?”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I’ve had enough.”<\/p>\n

‘How can I learn to do more?’<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course if you are happy where you are, a statement is fine.<\/p>\n

If not, next time change it into a question.<\/p>\n
