“Everyone has a unique story. […] Learning these stories will inevitably enrich your life. It might even lengthen it. Curiosity, it turns out, is conducive to health and happiness, as scores of social scientists have documented. Curious people, not surprisingly, are likely to learn more and to retain more of what they learn. Curious people are likely to be more attractive to others, as people are attracted to those who seem interested in them. Curiosity also leads to empathy, an emotion that seems in short supply today. Curious people are likely to be healthier, and to experience less anxiety in particular, because they see new situations as an opportunity to learn rather than an opportunity to realize that they don’t know enough. Curious people are also, according to some studies, likely to live longer, presumably because they are more engaged with the world around them.”

“When I was 10 there was a rocket scientist that lived near me. His son was severely handicapped, but his mind was genius. He was older than me. We’d hang. One time he told me this. I remembered it all these years. He taught me: When there are two conflicting statements (truths), there is an opportunity for learning. This has helped me through the years from passing judgment to quickly or coming to a conclusion instead of dismissing things all together.”
