Curiosity will take you to wonderful places you never would
have otherwise known you could go. Curiosity is, at its
heart, a love for life and everything in it.

Those who are the most authentically and persistently
curious are the best informed. Simple, sincere curiosity
brings a richness of wisdom and unique experience into your
life.

The biggest impediment to curiosity is arrogance. For in
order to be truly curious, you must first admit that you do
not know.

Keep in mind that intelligence is more than a measure of
what you already know. Intelligence depends on always being
open to learning new things, some of which will contradict
and supersede what you already thought you knew.

Though curiosity will often compel you to undertake great
effort, curiosity itself requires no effort. Drop your
pretenses, allow yourself to be curious, and you are.

There is no end to the wonder that you can discover,
wherever you are, whatever you do. Be curious, and be fully
alive.

Ralph Marston
