I've come away with a great insight from reading this article listed below. At a few of my jobs, I've posed questions to my colleagues and inadvertently answered myself on numerous occasions. I always find it unusual that I will talk to someone about my problem and by them being there to listen to me talk, I end up solving the problem that I was asking them help for. I feel my brain is sometimes just a mass of information and I just need to speak aloud my view-point in order for me to extrapolate answers to sometimes complex problems. The article states that asking oneself a question maybe the solution to having a problem. If you are bright enough, maybe all you need to do to answer your own question is actually try to write down your question in regards to someone else, maybe debating with yourself in written context may be the most useful form of answering your own questions. I always used to think that I just needed someone around to bounce ideas off of, but rather all I needed was to talk to myself!
