Let's start the topic from the proveb of Albert Einstein
Curiosity simply refers to the eagerness of mind to find a solution of a certain problem, or to discover something new. A curious mind never stays at one point or a questions but it shifts from one questions to another. what if there is no sun? why the sky is blue? how did we came into existence? This are only the examples but there exist lots of questions that exist in ones mind. However some people are more focused and curious in their mind. They passionately follow a question and get the answer they wanted and create the fact about the topic. They go deeper and deeper than the basic mind of ordinary people and grasp the ground knowledge i.e elemental factor of the statement. Such obsessive curiosity or passionate curiosity leads to making of a scientists. The desire for knowledge serves as the root cause of curiosity.Another cause of curiosity is the urge to satisfy ones senses.
Another crucial importance of curiosity is that, it engages ones mind, making him/her active rather than passive. It has been proved that where there is activity of the mind, there is God’s dwelling place. It also makes ones mind alert of new ideas and methods of doing things. This is so because whoever is curious, he/she is ever learning day by day. It opens up the mind of people making them believe in the possibility of everything they do.
there are list of ways to gain the curiosity:-
Work on projects with no defined results:
Write a novel when you’ve never written a short story before. Train for a marathon when you aren’t athletic. Find something you’re bad at and make a project out of it, because chances are if you’re bad at something it’s because you know very little about it. Ignorance is the starting point for curiosity.
Read books about a topic you don’t normally read about:
The point of a book isn’t knowledge, it’s wisdom. Your most important decisions aren’t going to come in the form of a citation, they’re going to be divulged from the background ideas you’ve been exposed to. Reading a huge variety, and taking advantage of curiosity, gives you new ideas.
Waste time on something creative:
Try learning how to use a tool you’ve never practiced before. Curiously exploring new tools can often have unintended benefits. The programming skills I built on completely unrelated projects have helped me in running a website. The artistic skills I built allowed me to do much of my own design work for products.
While researching in the topic i get to know that there is 20% rule. Twenty percent of your energy, time and money should be devoted to experimental and curiosity-driven pursuits. I’m borrowing from the successful strategy used in Google where employees must devote 20% of their time towards self-directed projects. Twenty percent is an arbitrary figure, the actual optimal result may be 50% or 75%, depending on your situation, but for most people I’d say 20% is a good start.
