Quotes are not only fun to read, but most of the time they are inspiring and motivational. I have a compilation of the best phrases about life and love. One of my favorites is Albert Einstein’s saying: I have no special talents, I’m just passionately curious. This quote, if applied in our life, can help us become much wiser and at the same time sharpen our thinking ability.
I believe that said saying is one of its success secrets. It is human nature to be curious about many things. There are two types of humans, one that just doesn’t bother to think and the other that takes the initiative to think. There is a famous quote that has said that thinking is hard work, so we don’t see many people doing it.
If we are curious about something but do not take the initiative to find an answer to that curiosity, we will not learn much. Albert Einstein took the initiative to clear the curiosities from him and the result is that he discovered so many things that are really amazing. From that we can see that talent by itself is not enough. If we are given intelligence and don’t use it to think more deeply by being curious, it is impossible for us to come up with a great idea.
Therefore, it is important to be curious and if there are people around us who have a habit of being curious, do not be bothered by them. Instead of discouraging them, we should help them if we know the ways to clear their curiosity. One day, they might invent something that makes our life or someone else’s life easier. Also, some curious people are interesting people, the reason is unknown but true. They have trained their brain so much until they can think more deeply than others.
Well, that’s about Albert Einstein. Another great person in our history is Walt Disney. Many of us can recognize some of the best Walt Disney quotes. Now this is one of the best Walt Disney quotes: We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, because we are curious and curiosity leads us down new paths.
Do you see the similarity in meaning between the Albert Einstein quote and Walt Disney? They both understand that to be different and achieve great things, we have to create something different and that is part of the curiosity.
Without curiosity, we can’t go anywhere and we’ll be stuck in the same place. We will get the same result as long as we do the same thing. If we want a different result, we must do different things and to start with an inspired action, we must first be curious.
By the way, be curious about the right things and not the wrong things. Marie Curie once said: Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas. There is another great quote about the curious, said by Jacques Yves Cousteau: What is a scientist after all? He is a curious man who looks through the keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to find out what is going on.
