APAD: Ask no questions and hear no lies.

 Ask no questions and hear no lies.

Don’t ask questions which people can’t or don’t want to answer. If you ask such questions, you’ll hear only lies.

Example: When I asked my neighbour why he comes early from office on some days, he, in a wishy-washy tone, said that on such occasions he finishes his work early. Before asking this question, I should have remembered: Ask no questions and hear no lies.

 

The silly questions like

I often heard from dining tables: 好吃吗? 

Or a woman directly ask you: Am i pretty? 

Who the hell would say no? unless you want to get yourself into trouble. 

I would never ask anything like that. 

I observe instead; actions speak louder than words.
