W.I.N. Wednesday: The enabler of curiosity.
“Humility is the enabler of curiosity.”
Jay Hennessey
Curiosity is critical to learning, understanding and growth.
Curiosity requires the humility to ask questions, seek knowledge, seek understanding, seek new connections, and seek new teachers and sources of information.
Curiosity requires the humility to say, “I don’t know.” or “I don’t understand.”
Curiosity requires the humility to be silent and listen in order to learn from others.
Curiosity requires the humility to learn from people younger than you, people who may have less formal education than you or who may have less status in your organization that you.
Curiosity requires the humility for the teacher to learn from the student.
Curiosity requires the humility to keep a beginners mind and accept there is always more to learn.
Curiosity requires the humility to seek a new room if you feel that you are the smartest person in the room.
Curiosity requires the humility to follow the advice of John Wooden, “Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who will argue with you.”
Curiosity requires the humility to surround yourself with unread books to remind yourself how much you still have to learn.
What’s Important Now? Stay Humble. Stay Curious.
