Curiosity is the key to progress and success.

One of the keys to go far is to cultivate our curiosity and our desire to learn new things.

When we are children, we are naturally super curious: what is this object? what happens if I drop it? what is under this stone? what does the picture in this book mean? Etc. This is how we learn a lot, how we grow very quickly.

Then, school and life in society teach us things but do not necessarily train us to develop our curiosity. They sometimes put us in the mind that learning is strict and boring, that we should not make any deviation, not move from our chair, that we should just learn by heart, do things by interest. We dare less to ask questions, to explore things on our own, to follow our own curiosity.

It is proven by the figures in different studies or by what we can observe around us: after a certain age, often after their studies or after 25, people tend to seek out new knowledge less, and rely more on what they already know.

But, I don't think anyone wants to stop progressing after 25, after only a third or a quarter of their life. Plus, the world is changing fast, so we must remain alert to adapt and not be left behind.

If you are ambitious, or want to achieve complicated things, you have no choice but to keep learning. All the people who reach great levels try all their life to feed their brain with new knowledge. They read a lot, they ask all the questions they can, they listen, they surround themselves with knowledgeable people, they try to have various experiences.

Learning is necessary to progress, and to success, and being curious is necessary to learn. The more you are curious about something, the more you will learn about it, the more you will be good at it. And the more you love something, the more curious you will be about it.

So, we have to pursue passion, stay open and curious, ask questions, observe, listen, read, experiment. It is a process that must never stop.
