“Curiosity killed the cat,” as the old saying goes, implies that curiosity is a bad behavior that leads you to dangerous risks. But must we remind ourselves that we’re human and not feline?
A better quote comes from Albert Einstein, who famously said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Curiosity, if you’re interested enough to look closer, actually holds within it the key to a happy, successful, loving, and fulfilling life. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it is actually proven to improve relationships, workplaces, personal skills, and well-being. It’s a fuel that propels us forward and a cushion to fall back on, and it’s dangerously lacking in most people’s lives. So to see how and why to change your mind from a passive to an active one, click through and read the case for curiosity.
