Cultivate curiosity
Cultivate curiosity: Approach new experiences with a curious mindset. Ask questions, explore different perspectives, and seek to understand. Curiosity fuels learning and opens up new possibilities.

In the book
Children, in fact, are the world's great natural learners — fascinated, experimental, endlessly curious — and the tragedy of much schooling is that it trains the why out of them, dangling grades and if-then rewards until they no longer know why they are doing what they do. So protect your curiosity; approach the new with questions and let wonder pull you forward. Be suspicious, too, of where your beliefs came from. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
