Ways to Be More Curious
Buried
in the same daily routines and familiar surroundings, some people may lead an
unhappy life. It's a desire to know how and why and a
combination of intelligence and hunger for new things. Here are some tips on
how to improve curiosity.
You
should communicate with others. There is a to-do list on Leonardo da Vinci's
notebook. Out of the fifteen tasks on the list, at least eight involve
consulting with others. Montaigne once wrote of how travel to different
countries allows us to "polish our brains".
Why
not visit a library? It allows us to meet other unexpected information. You can
enter it without purpose.And
just follow your curiosity to explore unexpected knowledge. The more you
explore, the greater your curiosity will be.
With
ideas stored in mind, you can mix and re-mix ideas and themes, making new
findings and spotting unusual patterns, until a creative breakthrough is
achieved, which strengthens your curiosity. Anyone stopping learning for
himself because he can search online later is making himself stupid.
Don't
just focus on puzzles but on mysteries. Puzzles have clear answers. Once the
missing information is found, it's not a puzzle anymore, with curiosity fading
away.Because the answers
often depend on a complex set of factors (因素), both
known and unknown. The most beautiful thing we can experience is mysteries. In
the process of finding the answers, they are the source of curiosity.
A. Start to search for the
books you want or need.
B. Unlike puzzles, mysteries
don't need answers.
C. Mysteries have questions
that can't be answered clearly.
D. And that's how Leonardo
polished his brain to remain curious.
E. Allow books or things on
the bookshelves freely to attract your eye.
F. Putting ideas in your head
rather than searching online plays an important part.
G. But we can achieve happiness
and more meaning in life if we increase our curiosity.
