Those who know me are aware of the fact that my curiosity knows few bounds and I will often chide others for their lack of same. Someone will be telling me a story and I am constantly asking, "Well, did you ask...??" or "What did they say when you said...??" only to be met by the reply that they didn't ask or didn't say whatever it seemed so obvious to me needed to be asked or said.
So ok, maybe I am overly curious if there is such a thing. And sure, I've been known to embarrass myself on occasion (though I have yet to end up with a garbage can lid on my head). But I staunchly maintain we cannot learn if we do not ask. The quest for deeper knowledge and understanding is well worth the risk of embarrassment.
Here is what I think.If you have no curiosity, develop some! If you are already of a curious bent, don't be dissuaded! Sprinkle a little curiosity on and watch yourself grow.
