Look back through history at all the famous and distinguished persons. Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, etc., all had one thing in common: they were all extremely curious about the world around them. This natural quality of theirs was what improved them from average personalities to true geniuses.

Curiosity will have you asking questions always. You will go hunting for the answers and won’t rest until you find them. The end result is that, you will learn a lot, and keep on adding to your knowledge throughout your life. No wonder then that, naturally curious people are often the most knowledgeable ones around.

Driven by curiosity, when you head out to seek answers, it will be like going on an adventure. Depending on what you seek, you might have to look in new places and learn new things. You are likely to face encumbrances and roadblocks on the way, but you will keep overcoming them, continuing onwards till you reach your final goal of complete understanding.
