Have you ever sat with people and they happen to discuss so many things while you just sat there with your mouth open because you knew nothing or had nothing to say about the topic? Doesn’t feel good right?
That’s how stupid you feel when you refuse to learn. I’ve been there before - I sat reading novels while people sat there talking about important stuff that were mind stimulating. It wasn’t until I sat down to think about and that I realized I was doing the wrong thing. I was reading the wrongs books while hanging out with the more than right people and then and there was when I had a mindset shift.
Naturally, I’m a very curious and inquisitive person. I want to know literally everything happening in and out of the word because I wis to have the best talks with the people I meet. I wouldn’t want to be talking about your favorite color or food when we could talk about ways to make money or grow. On a normal day, you’d find me reading so many things off the internet just to stay updated. At this point , I bet some of my friends hate to see me coming because I always start a conversation with ‘ what’s your take on this and that’ or ‘ have you heard of what’s happening here and there’. On my g
ood days, it’s ’did you see the video of this and that?’ .
Someway somehow, it seems I’ve gotten so used to it and I’d like to believe that the kind of people u engage play a role in this. For me, I’d say my curiosity stems from the feeling of not being update or left behind. I always make sure to learn, read, research and speak to people about anything, anywhere. I barely feel shy when it comes to learning because I’d rather feel stupid and learn than dumb and proud. There’s no two ways about that.
A curious mind is one that is ready to grow and learn the ways of life and i am ready to explore anything an anywhere because why not? With the billions of brain cells I have, I can’t just sit there and watch them all rot when I can be a mini-genius.
