CURIOSITY




The tendency to learn about things by asking questions, investigating or exploring.
Inventors have always been curious people. Among all the world’s greatest inventors you will find very curious individuals, who always asked the question of why things work, or how does things work, and how they can make things better. Curiosity is asking the right questions that make us learn something new.
No matter the age every individual is always in a curious age because our brains can always take in new knowledge, researches have shown that our brains never really adapt to a particular line, show it something new at any time, I can always adjust.
Curiosity makes you ahead of others because you are always trying to know something new. Making up our mind to learn something  new every day spices us up. Fela Durotoye said it is a crime not to learn something new every fifteen minutes. Every knowledge is within our grasp these days of information technology. The internet can supply us of information anytime any day, we can Google up almost anything now and get an informative response. The vast knowledge of Wikipedia has at least a line to say about anything we seek to learn about.
Our young people these days have resorted to only be a consumer of other people’s brain child; they seldom ask questions on how things come about. We use almost anything called a social network and we seldom ask the question: of how is this done? and surprisingly we will find out or realize we could have actually done some of these things at some point in our lives if we have simply paid attention to the questions in our heart.
GOD created every individual and put questions in our heart and at the same time HE put the answers all around us. But we can never get answers without questions. Curiosity brings out these questions in our hearts to the point where they can produce tangible answers that are productive.
Curiosity is simply the secret behind the rising technology of the Chinese that is challenging America now. The Chinese simply adopted the technique in engineering called ‘reverse engineering’ this technique simply works on the principle of curiosity. They were driven with the question of finding out how things were produced and how they can do the same with the available resources that they have. Their curiosity drove them to ask how they can make a better, cheaper and more user friendly products than others.
In my place there is a saying that goes: “a person who asks questions about his route will never get to miss his way during the journey.” This holds true in all other areas. Curiosity can drive us to our divine destiny. Our level of operation in life is determined by the questions we ask. You know where a man is going by the quality of questions he asks.
Intelligent curiosity brings about intelligent knowledge and drive away ignorance. Let’s say no to ignorance, it will go a long way to save us a whole lot of unwarranted mistakes.
Try a little sarcastic curiosity today, it will do your heart a lot of merry!
