What is more important... The Questions or the Answers?

Questions are always more important than answers because the way one frames the questions predetermines the range of answers one can conceive in response.
The rapid pace in which the world is evolving, questions can almost be obsolete by the time you ask them.
The current unquenchable thirst for data and the addiction to more is better isn't always the case. What more often provides is overwhelming an information overload, where we create our own uncertainty with a fear of making the wrong choice or "FOMO".
To ensure you don't get frozen with FOMO (fear of missing out)
It is best to keep the number of questions minimal and ensure that they will get the answers you need. I have given you a few questions I use as a method of preparation.
What are the questions you are asking?
Why are you asking these questions?
What information are you trying to get?
Are the questions getting you the answers you want?
Don't forget more isn't better, more won't give you clear answers it often leaves you frozen with to much information making the decision harder not easier.
