ask the questions i want answers to

Ok so im going to play the piano, and im not so sure if this keyboard is going to be right for me. I am a beginner. It is a LK220 with 61 keys.
Here is a picture of it http://www.casio.com/products/images/LK-220/xlarge/

So any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

So, I guess this is kind of unrelated, but has to do with being active vs. passive, which is what this goal is meant to be, basically. Take the action you need to to get what you want or at least know if its feasible, I guess.

But, so how do you know when to stop? As I try out these new personality traits I keep being faced with the issue of balance. How much is too much? I don’t want to force myself upon someone, or force another person into a hole, but if they’re not saying what they need to say in order to get the result they desire, how do I know that? I guess if I’m sensing that its likely at least somewhat true and I should back off, as I know I have been in the situation of not being able to express myself as well as I’d hope. It sort of makes me realize what a good goal this is when I see how beneficial it is for all involved.

I have come across several opportunities where I had a question in my head – the sentence was formed but I didn’t ask. I’ve never been one to raise my hand in class, but I feel like I should start now just because I feel like I could. It isn’t the same terror I felt in high school and I have questions. Ask. Ask. Ask.

And, while it isn’t a huge deal to not have my question answered most of the time it is a big deal that I never do it.

I was at a coffee shop. It seemed fancy and they had gelato and alcohol and everything was very modern and clean and hard. (Not my kind of place..) So I was there anyway and I got out my computer to do some studying (of which I should be doing now) and there was one internet that popped up and it was in need of a password. This password I did not know, and I assume it went to the coffee shop as there was name similarity, yet I did not ask the person working there what it was, or if it was even theirs. Bleh. Duh, I wanted to study! I have a midterm tomorrow, what am I doing? Clearly this hinders me. All I had to do was ask.

It’s dumb, but I get scared to ask for directions. Maybe not scared, but I don’t like to do it. I feel like it makes me seem less capable, less self sufficient. And, I don’t know if I mean that I think other people will think that or that I will think that.

I have to convince myself and believe that my questions are worth answering. That I don’t have stupid questions. And even if I only slightly wonder why 12 is a more-whole number than 13 when rounding its okay to ask. If I wonder it, its valid.

I’ve been telling myself this for a while now – however often I follow through I could not say. It’s hard. But I think it is a good goal. It applies in so many situations and really just means taking control of the situations I’m in. Ask the question in class when you don’t understand. When making plans ask when you’re meeting. Ask if you can meet at the time you want. It never hurts to ask. And if you want to know, why not? I just need to learn how to handle the potential rejection, maybe..? Learn how to formulate the questions?

Is it ever rude to ask?
