Curiosity killed the cat or did it find an ancient oasis on Mars.
One is a phrase from 19th a century and the other is NASA’s guide to the history of Mars and its possibility to
support life and within this statement it carries the potential to help us
understand the world’s view on knowledge.
The phrase, however, is incomplete. The phrase
which started out as Care killed the cat somewhere finding its way to
curiosity, but in 1912 version the phrase was completed
That is precisely the reason why I wanted to study curiosity to study what
prevails after; confusion or satisfaction, frustration or exhilaration.
While
talking to students sometimes, I feel they are so focused on the now that they
fail to see the big picture or they don’t even want to see it. Who has the time
to want to look at the sky when things closer to the earth are wreaking havoc
in each and every life?
Sometimes
our systems discourage us from being curious, wanting us to follow protocols because those are easy to manage. Asking too many questions have always landed
people in an uncomfortable position.
However asking questions, making peace with discomfort and
having the courage to be curious is the first step in making our world a better
place to live in. In this edition, I will talk about curiosity and its role in
our life. How it makes an impact on our growth and how to use it effectively
to further progress ourselves and challenge the status quo.
Let me know your thoughts about curiosity. I will be doing a
20 min session on curiosity on Monday, October 26th @5pm from Instagram live.
