In the ever-evolving world of nail care, the line between fact and fiction can often seem as fine as a freshly filed nail. One of the recurring challenges that both professionals and enthusiasts face is the abundance of misinformation swirling through the industry, from fellow nail technicians to the very manufacturers of our tools and products. A common concern, expressed poignantly by a reader, captures the essence of this struggle: ‘I do my research, but there is so much incorrect information coming from other nail technicians and even from manufacturers. How am I supposed to separate the facts from the myths?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En NailKnowledge, abordamos continuamente los mitos y aclaramos las dudas a trav\u00e9s de un sinf\u00edn de preguntas planteadas por nuestros lectores. Hoy nos adentramos en algunos de los mitos m\u00e1s arraigados para revelar las verdades que se esconden bajo el brillante barniz de la superficie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determining fact from fiction is an age-old problem that has existed since the beginning of civilization. In other words, misinformation has always been a problem. The best solution to this dilemma was discovered about 2500 years ago by a Greek philosopher named Socrates. Socrates and the people living in his time didn\u2019t have to deal with the all the baloney circulated on the Internet or by the news media, but they sure did have their own fair share of myths and misinformation to deal with. So, Socrates developed a method to help him get the facts and he taught this method to his followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a1Su m\u00e9todo fue tan extremadamente exitoso que la gente lo utiliza regularmente hasta el d\u00eda de hoy! Este m\u00e9todo es utilizado por jueces, abogados, reporteros, detectives y cient\u00edficos en busca de hechos y pistas sobre los hechos, pero cualquiera puede utilizar este m\u00e9todo porque es muy simple, pero muy eficaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Socrates\u2019s method can be boiled down to just these two words, \u201cQuestion Answers\u201d. Yes, it is that simple, yet it is powerful! Don\u2019t just accept what you are told. That is how nail technicians are often fooled. Instead, ask lots of questions, and keep asking until you are satisfied you fully understand. It\u2019s all about the questions you ask. Here are some examples for you to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to get answers is to ask open ended questions. Start with the simplest question of all…\u00a0 Ask \u201cWhy\u201d?<\/strong> Cuando alguien te diga algo que sospechas que es incorrecto, hazle esta pregunta, \u201cWhy do you believe this is true?\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Y escucha atentamente su respuesta en busca de pistas sobre lo que realmente est\u00e1n diciendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n O pregunta \u201cHow do you know this?\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Otra pregunta interesante es, \u201cWhere does your information come from?\u201d<\/strong><\/em> y \u201cWhat does this mean?\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>O mi favorito personal, \u201cPlease help me understand why I should believe this?\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>O, \u201cWhy is this information important?\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>If you don\u2019t understand their explanation say, \u201c<\/em>Explain that to me in a different way so that I can understand.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong> O \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong> \u00c9stos son s\u00f3lo algunos ejemplos del tipo de preguntas abiertas que pueden ayudarle a investigar mejor y a profundizar en cualquier tema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who don\u2019t know what they are talking about will have a hard time answering such questions. Those who want to deceive you, will not like being questioned. In either case, if someone doesn\u2019t know the facts, it will be obvious when these types of questions are asked. And those who don\u2019t want you to know the facts, will become uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When people ask me questions like this, I love it! This provides an opportunity to explain in greater detail and lets me know the questioner is interested. It\u2019s an opportunity to provide more detailed information, which I always appreciate. Don\u2019t stop asking \u201cwhy\u201d and \u201chow\u201d until you get to the root of the issue and feel you understand the facts. You\u2019ll learn that some don\u2019t know why they believe, they just do and will have no clear answer to your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, don\u2019t just accept what you hear or read and don\u2019t just look at the headlines and expect you know the facts. Headlines are often intended to fool people, since those writing the headlines know most won\u2019t take the time to read the article and won\u2019t ask questions. Many are afraid to ask questions, but now you understand the tricks used by professionals who ask questions for a living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With practice, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s easy. Take the time to Question Answers! And you\u2019ll be the wiser for it. Like anything, it takes practice- so dig in and don\u2019t give up until you get the answers to your questions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the ever-evolving world of nail care, the line between fact and fiction can often seem as fine as a freshly filed nail.
