Teacher

If someone is telling you what to see, they are indoctri-nating you. You aren’t being taught to think, you are being told what to think. Curiosity is a powerful force. If you tell someone where to look, and let them observe, they are far more likely to become interested. If you tell them what they see, why would they bother to look? The curiosity is gone. In this way, the teachers are best who inspire you to want to learn. And not just from that teacher, but to continue to learn for the rest of your life. Not only do we learn how to be curious and stay out of trouble (mostly), we learn the things which satisfy that particular curiosity. If we get good at it, we can satisfy our curiosity in a quick and efficient manner. Eventually, we understand a great deal of the things around us, and begin being curious about things which are completely different, or more complex. And we learn how to find answers and to satisfy our curiosity. Think about it for a moment. Why do you want to know something? What drives you to search the internet or dig through old reference books? What causes us to stare at the ceiling when we should be sleeping, with our minds racing on a topic? Unanswered questions are one way curiosity manifests itself. As a kid, you mix two colors of paints, just because you don’t know what the result would be. As an adult, you look at the stars and consider other questions, to which we do not presently have answers. But it’s still curiosity, right? We all have things which interest us, and things which our curiosity would like to investigate. The question is how often do we indulge ourselves with a journey of learning? If you’re too busy, that probably means you are just a little too busy. Take some time and search for something you’ve always wanted to know more about. Indulge your curiosity. Not all the time, but every now and then, as your other interests and time permit. Om
