So, just in case you’ve been crazily exploring anything in the field of art, music, culture, nature, photography, technology or more, then you could win a NatGeo Expedition to Machu Picchu! And you’ll be glad to know that National Geographic India is looking for curious souls just like you who embody its spirit of exploration. If any of this sounds similar then you, my friend, are a born explorer. You can go days without everyday things like food, water, social interactions etc, but you cannot go even a second without doing what you do best: exploring things! Remember what Dorothy Parker said? Curiosity is the cure for boredom. You learn simply because you love to learn. You don’t seek external factors to motivate you. Sometimes to the point of annoying your company. You always have a lot of questions about everything. Things that others wouldn’t even notice pique your interest, and you end up spending hours learning all you can about them.Īt this point, people roll their eyes at you and walk away. It’s all cool as long as you don’t do it while you’re on a date. You find yourself still thinking about it the next day. Even after an all-nighter, your mind doesn’t shut down. You often pull all-nighters exploring things that interest you. You believe that there is always something more to learn, and that pushes you to never stop exploring the subject of your liking. Whether by nature or by nurture, you have a higher dose of curiosity than most of us use. You dive deep, and want to know all there is to know about it. Curiosity leads to discovery, which can help our chances of survival. It’s difficult to make up your mind about what interests you the most, but when you do, you invest everything in it. Your superpower is that you are good at many things. And when you are interrupted in the middle of something that’s caught your attention, this is what happens: 4. Your curiosity has led you to accumulate random information about everything you come across.

You always have something to say about everything. You find yourself getting interested in everything. You will want to consume everything just for the sake of it, just like this list! 1. Once you’ve been bitten, you will never be the same again. Lets look at the definition of curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” – Dorothy ParkerĬuriosity, defined as a strong desire to know or learn something, is a bug whose bite it is impossible to recover from. So by the strictly prescriptivist definition, yes, the phrase is redundant.
