It's not always the passion that we need to follow to march on in life, it's sometimes the uneven things that we try to explore forges ahead. When I say I'm extremely passionate about something, I might end up being restricted to a particular domain but when I say the same thing and adding "But I am curious to know about new things" to it, I might get so many options about which I might become more passionate about.
In my early years of life, I was insanely in love with sketching and painting. I have been to drawing competitions many times over. But after some years passed, I was becoming curious about the story books referenced in the English textbooks during my school days. Due to this curiosity, I triggered myself to purchase books, read them and at the end started finding pleasure in reading. I explored the power of imagination and creativity. The creative power that I have today is all because of this. It improved my understanding of people. The reading habit kept my brain always active and also relieved stress. Ultimately, I was swept off my feet by reading. It suppressed my love for sketching and painting. It didn't suppress my passion, but it pointed out a way for me that would definitely suit me better for a long journey. Today I don't have any regrets that I forsook my earlier passion. Instead, I am always in high spirits trying to become a voracious reader and a thoughtful writer as well. Reading and writing has opened up a better path for me.
The act of cultivating curiosity towards a particular thing has the potential to bring about a life-altering transformation.
Steve Jobs was always curious about the surrounding world. He utilized this trait to scrutinize the uncharted territories of technology, ultimately fuelling his creativity and paving the way for the birth of a revolutionary company that requires no introduction. A remarkable individual would everlastingly possess an inquisitive nature towards discovering novel things and acquiring knowledge, without being satisfied with his/her current level of understanding.
