Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.
- Samuel Johnson
One of the finest elements of man's life is Curiosity. Not just to humans, it applies to all living organisms. A cat which sees a leaf falling off the tree for the first time watches it so keenly that it tries to jump and catch it the next time. This would not have been possible if it wasn't curious about catching it.
Curiosity is a beautiful thing which urges one to do what (s)he is passionate about. Most of the inventions till date are result of Curiosity.
Let me narrate a short story to explain how important curiosity is :
"One day, a boy was sick in bed. His father brought him a compass — a small round case housing a magnetic needle. No matter which direction the boy turned the compass, the needle always pointed towards the North, as if it was held by an invisible thread within. He was so amazed that his body trembled.
He was enlightened about the presence of mysteries in the world — hidden and silent, unknown and unseen. He had the urge to figure out the actual reasons to those events that took place which were known to be mysteries."
If the boy in this story was not curious to know why the needle pointed North, then we would have not known Albert Einstein today! Yes, the young boy was Sir Albert Einstein. He always said "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
Curiosity may sometimes lead you to failures, but it always teaches you a lesson. A lesson to keep going ahead in life. Even if one has made a mistake, the curiosity in them guides them to step on right path.
I always recommend to correct the one who's curious in a room full of wrong people. No matter what and how you correct them, they will listen to you patiently unlike other people with tremendous ego.
Mic drop.
Be curious about everything in your life!
