A child on average asks 300, Questions a DAY!!
& I was no exception to that fact. Being a kid I always used to ask, How? Why?
Apart from the fact that being a kid I was familiar with these words only.
As I was growing up I thought twice before asking questions, I hesitated for something I never; back then when I was a child.
And the same happens with most of us…as time passes we lock our curiosity deep inside our mind!
Most of the time it’s because we hear things like stop asking questions or be an adult now!
We forget the importance of curiosity in our life. And today I would like to talk about it with you all.
What curiosity does:
Achievement booster: A student, for example, his curious nature, about a subject will not only increase his chances of getting good grades but also will help him to understand the concept instead of mugging it up.
Curiosity makes us HAPPIER!!! can you believe it?!!! I can not I mean the element which we all lose in this chaotic world gives us HAPPINESS?!!
But yes, yes it’s true…curiosity is known to be associated with higher levels of positive emotions, lower levels of anxiety.
Makes us social: We all know how important communication is in our life & what role it plays in making us social.
Curiosity helps us to be more social as we are interested to know about people around us about their lives, their choices, etc.
The necessity of curiosity: What I think is, curiosity’s foundation of all our growth, advancement, development, which we made up till now.
And for making further progress, we do need it.
When we talk about eminent personalities we say they are prudent, pragmatic, etc. but most of the time forget to mention that they were curious about their surroundings!
Forget to mention the fact that they always kept; that curious child alive inside them.
Can we bring our curiosity back?:
The most effective way according to me which I would like to recommend you all is to make a curiosity jar.
It’s a productive aspect to get back your curiosity.
One method which may sound bizarre is to talk with small kids.
There’s a high chance that, watching them or hearing them being curious, may awake your curiosity from its deep sleep.
Curiosity is like a seed that is buried underneath you…all you have to do is give it water & sunlight!
LET’S STAY CURIOUS!!!!
Beautiful. The gist lies in the last line. Thanks ☺️

Talk with small kids! Yes. And imitate their curiosity. Very often I write about how kids help us to revive the purity and joy that we still are even when we masquerade around like big know-it-alls.
That purity and joy. It’s not lost — simply buried under ‘important grownup’ stuff. Lovely article. Enjoying and nodding with you. Keep it up. Good stuff here. Thanks.

When I was at schools on my teaching placements, while training to be a teacher at university, I was in awe of the different directions students’ minds took. So many unexplored avenues all because questions were left unasked.
The only stupid question is one you don’t ask.
One of my good friends advocates asking questions about everything, it is the way we learn after all. Getting to know her has helped awaken a bit of that child-like curiosity, to ask questions and seek answers to those questions.
Thank you for sharing this important lesson I will need to re-learn many times over the course of my life!
