Curiosity

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that curiosity is a good way to stay stimulated and informed as well as young. Ever notice that children are curious about everything? That’s how they learn and the same thing should apply to adults.
People have often commented that I ask a lot of questions, which is true, and it’s one way I’ve learned a lot. I can remember when I was deciding on what type of bathroom sink to install in a new property, so I kept three samples on a sofa in my front offices. I would ask everyone who came in which sink they liked best and why. I was genuinely interested in their comments, and while the final decision is mine, I had a lot of perspectives to consider and felt I could make a very informed decision. People were surprised I took such an interest in their opinions but details matter to me and their opinions mattered as well.
Curiosity also provides a starting point for discovery. It’s a bit like research once you find something of interest, the natural inclination is to learn more about it. Sometimes it may not have anything to do with your current endeavor, but it can broaden your understanding. I don’t believe any knowledge is wasted. My interests are diverse largely because I’m curious, which has certainly helped me as a business man.I had a great deal to learn, but this is one reason I emphasize the importance of learning everything you can along the way. You never know when it will be useful. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
