1) Keeping your mind active, trying to wonder is important. It keeps mind observant. It makes work life more exciting.

4) Makes 'Work Life' more exciting. They are never bored. 

5) How do you develop curiosity? Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. Dont be afraid to play with your ideas.

6) Keep and Open Mind: Alvin Toffler - Illiterates of 21st century are those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. 

7) Dont take things for granted, Dig deeper. 

8) Ask lot of questions. What, why , when, who, where how? - They are the best friends of curious people. Example 5 whys. 

9) Don't label something as pointless or boring. If you cant explore then, they will revisit it later. 

10) See learning as something fun. Don't overwhelm or overload . Don't see learning as a burden. 

11) Read diverse material. Try new things. what people call intelligence boils down to curiosity. Be aware if what is out there. 

12) Finding diverse material. Google is your friend, familiar, free, and far reaching. LinkedIn is a fantastic source of finding.


Never lose the holly curiosity. 

Curiosity will lead to opportunity.
