This is a really great article, curiosity is truly a great friend to our personal development and education.

I have just completed an article on self education here http://dwellupon.net/2009/09/learn-to-learn-how-to-teach-yourself/. However I never really touched upon the aspects of curiosity.

Good work

Just want to help you curiously discover that “learned” is accepted in the English language–Learnt is not however.

Thanks Gail As you said apart from being curious about the external world we should also be curious about our internal world.How can we expect life to be more fulfilling if we don’t even know what we want out of life.We must reflect on our life by asking questions like ” What do I love doing?” or “How can I contribute to this world?”

This is a fabulous article with some novel ideas. I imagine you are a very curious person! We are so much more present to life when we are interacting with what is actually happening.

I would also add being curious about our inner life. When we are more conscious about what we are doing, we can make choices that are aligned with what we really want for ourselves. This is essential when we are trying to change habits. The thoughts and feelings about the undesired habit need to be fully known before we can make a lasting change. It takes genuine curiosity.
