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.

sarcastic curiosity today, it will do your heart a lot of merry!
