The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing. - Albert Einstein
At the Seattle airport, I followed a school of metal fish embedded in the floor that led to my gate. One fish appeared with a suitcase. How many travelers have noticed this fellow? I had to take a photograph.
Endowed with curiosity, everything in life becomes possible. Linked with optimism and creativity, curiosity pushes limits.
Ways to heighten your natural gift of curiosity:
1. Stay open to possibilities. Nurture the ability to change your mind, unlearn and relearn.
2. Ask questions like a reporter: Who, What, Why, When, Where, How? Don't feel content with easy answers. Ask more questions.
3. Curious individuals never feel bored. Take advantage of 'empty time' like standing in line. Observe what's going on around you. Notice people's choices and listen. Wonder about their lives and occupations. Make up stories.
4. Describe in detail your first memory of curiosity. Recall it with all your senses.
5. Read diverse publications and books. Explore what you don't know with a free mind.
Become a perpetual discoverer and learner. Make learning fun and seek beyond the obvious.
Find that fish with the suitcase.
