“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney
Going by the typical dictionary definition, “curiosity” is the desire to seek out new knowledge or experiences.
“Why mummy, why?” Sounds familiar? Yes, kids are the personification of “curiosity”. Experts say that the average child asks more questions in ten minutes than the average adult does in ten days. This “powered by curiosity” minds of children is always open to new ideas and experiences. When kids learn new things in life, they get a sense of satisfaction which ultimately leads to happiness. Well, you know what, happy learners tend to be better learners.
“Ehh… What’s that? How’s that possible? Really?!”
Any adult spending time with kids would frequently encounter the above-mentioned questions. According to experts, high and consistent levels of curiosity contributes to mental well-being and life satisfaction. They also say curiosity is the secret sauce ingredient to a happy and fulfilling life.
Questioning minds learn
When was the last time you went to a museum or park? Did questions spring up your mind when you encountered certain scenes? “Yes!” would be the obvious answer. So, when you got answers to your questions, did it give you a sense of satisfaction? “Yes!” would be the obvious answer yet again.
The Power of Curiosity –
It is a general conception that when you ask doubt and get it cleared, that particular learning never goes off your mind. Even after years, you can still recollect that learning. This is mainly because we have learned that particular topic with proper reasoning. This doesn’t mean that you need to stop your teacher every single minute in the middle of her lecture and raise a doubt. 🙂
Any topic that you feel unsure about, do make sure you get it sorted out by asking others or through online ways. Mr “Google” has the answer to most of our questions. But do make sure that you feed your curious mind with answers from legit sites, and verify that the information you receive is not fake.
Happiness and Academic Success are directly proportional
Happiness influences any student’s learning strategies and academic achievements. Several studies have revealed that happiness has a strong influence on academic success. As mentioned earlier, curiosity leads to happiness and as mentioned in the previous line, happiness contributes to academic success. See, how the cycle of events works out effortlessly?
“How do I build curiosity?”
Now, most of you would have this question in your mind – “How do I build curiosity?”
The best way to feed your mind with curiosity is to engage with new people, new places and to look at things from different points of view. As kids, your minds are so fresh. Do remember that whatever you learn at a younger age sticks onto your mind for a long time and can help you in the long run. Travel to different places with your parents, interact with people from different walks of life and question things that you don’t find meaningful or satisfactory. When you do all these things right, you can surely lead a happy life!
“Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness.” – Bryant H. McGill
