“You can teach a student a lesson for
a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will
continue the learning process as long as he lives.” - Clay P. Bedford
When I asked my elder son, M. Ganesh
Sai the name of his principal, he replied that he did not know. I told him,
“You must know the name of your principal as he is the head of your educational
institution and also you must know the name of the president of our
country.” I further added that these
are the basic things students must be aware of. He further added that most of
his friends were not aware of principal’s name. I advised him that basic information such as
name of the principal and the president of the country is a must for everyone
to know. For instance, when you go for an employment interview the recruiter
may ask couple of questions about the noted personalities in your country to
test whether you are aware of basic information and also to test your
inquisitiveness. If you express your ignorance it conveys wrong impression on
the mind of the recruiters. My son asked
me to explain about inquisitiveness. I explained him about inquisitiveness as
follows:
Inquisitiveness is about being curious
about various things that happen around you. It is the catalyst for
motivation. It is essential in the
present world. Inquisitiveness helps you
ask right questions and learn various things. It helps acquire knowledge
quickly and also retain it for a longer time. Chip Bell rightly remarked, "Effective
questioning brings insight, which fuels curiosity, which cultivates
wisdom." Therefore, inquisitiveness helps you stand out from others. It helps
you invent new things leading to innovation. In the current cut-throat
competitive world the people who have extra essential information have an edge
over others. Information is the key to survival and success. When you have adequate
information you will be able to understand well, and be able to make sound
decisions and achieve success ultimately.
Students must possess inquisitiveness
to learn various aspects in life. We often think that inquisitiveness is needed
only in classrooms but it is needed beyond classrooms. Therefore, equip with inquisitiveness and
acquire more essential information in your area of interest to stand out.
“Curiosity has its own reason for
existence. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” - Albert Einstein
Life is great!
