F. Absorb other people’s enthusiasm.

The more I observe brilliant people, the more I notice that one distinguishing characteristic they have is immense curiosity. How does curiosity contribute to someone’s brilliance? It gives you a fresh perspective. Curious people can see something that many other people can’t. It gives you fresh ideas. Using the term from The Medici Effect, curiosity gives you intersection experience where concepts from different fields collide with one another and produce fresh ideas. Since curious people get more intersection experience, they consequently get more fresh ideas.

Now that we’ve seen how important curiosity is, how can we develop it? Here are some tips:

【1】 Rather than expecting things to be boring, expect them to be fun. This small change in your mindset(心态) can make a big difference. Once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of practically anything.

【2】 Often something seems boring because it’s delivered poorly. That’s perhaps one thing that makes great teachers great: they can connect their students to the fun side of what they’re teaching. So one way to develop your curiosity is to watch the talks of those who are enthusiastic about their fields. Don’t just absorb their knowledge; absorb their energy too.

【3】 By creating a challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (and perhaps to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is by creating a project: building something real out of what you learn. Another way is to create a contest with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.

【4】 Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning to what you already know. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new possibilities you’ve never realized before.

【5】 Avoid boredom and find new possibilities by exploring new topics. Read books in new types. Meet people with different professions.

The core is simple, actually. All the advice above can be summarized to just one: make things fun.
