The words "never stop learning" written on a chalkboard. the "o" in "stop" is a stopwatch

My philosophy in life is to exercise ‘Continuous, Consistent, Constant Curiosity’. I love taking every opportunity to ask ever deeper questions about everything that impacts my mission. I’m not content to be told something got fixed, I want to know why/how it broke, how it got fixed and what can be done to reduce probability of future occurrences. Plus… “Experts often aren’t” and asking questions is one way to find out who truly has mastered their profession and who is skating by.

The minute you stop wanting to learn and grow, you’ve taken a big step onto the slippery slope of decline, of obsolescence, of being old, no matter your chronological age. Curiosity is an innate superpower we all possess; released, it fuels a lust for learning and sparks creativity. In our rapidly changing world, a commitment to lifelong, continuous learning is the bare minimum.

Curiosity is the best teacher and self-education the only sustainable path to wisdom and to becoming your best self more often. Unleash your curiosity, remember the sense of wonder and adventure you had as a child when the world lay before you to be explored, take delight in exploring new fields. The rewards are immense and the riches you will store up in your mind, no thief can ever take.

“Curiosity is unruly. It doesn’t like rules, or, at least, it assumes that all rules are provisional, subject to the laceration of a smart question nobody has yet thought to ask. It disdains the approved pathways, preferring diversions, unplanned excursions, impulsive left turns. In short, curiosity is deviant.” – Ian Leslie

As always, I share what I most want and need to learn. – Nathan S. Collier
