Asking right question is approximately ~ 50% achievement towards right answer. Asking a wrong question, even though if you find any genuine answer to it, will take you in wrong direction. As there is only one underlying reality and truth, asking one wrong question is enough to permanently deviate the trajectory of your searchlight of thought away from the truth, no matter how many right questions you will ask after one wrong question. This is the real meaning of the expression of "the path to the truth is very narrow and straight". 

It is very critical to find what is really important and what is the right question out of the superrreal postmodern world. Original truth was encoded with sings and symbols which have now lost their meanings and replaced with similar but not identical imitations. Now the "garden variety" of reality is based on those false imitations, signs and symbols which is totally disconnected with original reality and replaced by more sensational superrrealty. To ask right question on right issues out of these garbage "truths", it needs some intense thought training. Good news is, this part you can cultivate. Do your homework on that, mostly by self-learning and observations. 

Once you have decided what are the things that really matters, then it is time to ask questions about those. Be careful before you ask. You have to treat each questions as important as if your life depends on each questions. Asking 10 consecutive right question, for example, will bring you 99% towards the truth but even then, it will never take you to the truth itself. At the end, you need the gift of intuition. How can you make or train your intuition? Unfortunately, you cannot and fortunately, it's already there. In order to find it and use it, you have open up all options on the table. You have to travel the unknown abyss of yourself and you have to let go. Its like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. If you try to catch it, it will only recede. You have to be submissive and humble, not by empty words, but by your whole self, which will be expressed in your acts and deeds. Then it will come to you, if you are sincere and honest enough for knowing. This is the rationale behind disciple, asceticism, sacrifice, chastity and meditation. It gives you the better chance of finding the deep intuition. Then the ultimate powerful intuition will come to you and you will find the answer of everything you ever asked.

When a child first becomes self-aware, he wonders about his surroundings and ponders about the sky. Children start to ask questions without shame and embarrassment about everything from trivial to deep, often inconceivable by the inert, already graduated adults. For children, the world is fresh, nothing is banal. They examine everything in details with awe and wonder with their greatest amusement. Children are born philosophers and scientists. It is the exasperated parents, the teachers and adults, by whom their curiosity is strangulated and sentenced to death. Gradually, the world becomes routine and they there is no question left for them to ask, because for every question, there is a ready-made answers coming from authoritative figures. Don't believe me? Go to the 1st grade classroom and then 10th grade. You will see, who are the real philosophers and scientists. By the time when they are grown up, most of them will not look beyond their day-to-day needs and choirs. Then they are occupied with hustle and bustle of modern life and their curiosity is deeply repressed in their subconscious. There always remains a hidden anxiety but they don't know exactly what it is. Instead they blame the anxiety for life stress, jobs, relationships or failure to achieve socially prescribed goals, although these goals themselves are often stressful too. To overcome this basic drive, they then buy and read self-help books, see priests for salvation or go to the doctors for their head scanned. The self-help book authors claims that they are not reading his book carefully enough. Priest claims that he is possessed by evil spirits. Doctors claim there are some chemical or neurotransmitter imbalance and recommends antidepressant or anti psychotic pills. Nobody sees the obvious problem. The madness is by design, and this madness is not necessarily done by some group of people or governments, intentionally. The blame is ours, collective. When nothing helps then they resort to drugs [illicit] or medications [prescription] to calm them down and to help them stop asking questions. This is the bane of modern or postmodern society. This is how born philosophers or scientists die. Curiosity and wonder of being and the drive to self-actualize is gagged and smothered. Instead, they are given the opium of institutionalized religion and mushroom of dogmatic, commercialized science. When this opium is not achieving satisfactory results in calming down the curiosity then they are given new opium of "Qualified Freedom", "Sexual liberation", Booze and footballs. For resistant and recalcitrant cases, psychedelics and Heroin become the only opium, which is, by definition, the infallible opium. This is how "defective" born philosophers and scientists die [apoptosis] and a regular, "normal citizens" are born.
