I can’t come up with questions when learning something new. How can I change this?

I had a meeting today where everyone was asked to ask a question after each presentation. I was the only one who couldn't come up with anything. The topics were fairly new to me, so I just listened and took in the information, but no questions came to my mind.

The problem is that this happens to me a lot. When I'm learning something new, I just accept the information instead of questioning it or thinking deeper about it. It honestly makes me feel like I don't think at all.

I really want to change this and learn how to naturally come up with questions and think more critically. How can i improve?

Can I buy prescription medication in Korea with a foreign prescription?

I’m trying to buy Ezetimibe 10 mg in Korea for my father who lives abroad. I have his prescription from a hospital in his country. Would a Korean pharmacy accept it, or is there another way to get the medication here?

Can updating figures in a camera-ready paper cause problems?

I have an accepted IEEE conference paper, and while preparing the camera-ready version, I realized that one of my baseline implementations was not being calculated exactly as intended. I fixed the implementation, and now the results are slightly different from the figures in the accepted version. However, the overall conclusions of the paper remain the same.

Would updating those figures in the camera-ready version be a problem? I'm worried that changing the figures could somehow lead to the paper being rejected, even though the changes are only due to correcting the baseline implementation.

How do I learn to think for myself instead of going blank when I’m unprepared?

I feel like I don’t know how to think. In fact, I feel like I’ve never really thought deeply before in my life.

I always try to prepare for things, but if a question comes up that I haven’t prepared for, I just go blank and have nothing to say. I also feel like I don’t have opinions of my own because of this.

Whenever there is something I don’t know, I immediately start reading about it instead of trying to think through it myself first. Because of this, I also usually don’t have many questions when I’m learning a new topic.

How do I learn to think for myself?
