No Shit Trips

You know what they say, that curiosity killed the cat. But what would it be of science, art, technology, design, and life in general without curiosity?

Financial coaches often say that there is good debt and bad debt. That the first one boosts your business while the second one buries your future. Isn’t curiosity somewhat similar?

Ultimately, we have come to believe that curiosity is often confused with some other not-so-positive attitudes, but curiosity per se is such a gift, it’s like a fire that we must keep on burning; the closest we have to an eternal youth elixir.

We have seen so much: People whose eyes were unable to see, traveling from the other side of the world and climbing all the way up to the top of a pyramid in Mexico, and then smile for the picture. People whose legs were unable to walk mesmerized by the impressive architecture of viceregal cities during a long tour by the cobblestone streets. People unable to hear, expressing in sign language how the view of a canyon took their breath away. People over 80 years old in such good shape in body and mind, and with the charm of a child just by the fire of their curiosity.

Curiosity is a fire we must tend so it does not go out. However, if we feel like it has gone out already, good news is we can always light it again.

Travel is one of the best ways to feed and boost our curiosity, our imagination, our creativity, our solving problem skills, our inspiration. Sometimes, often in fact, solutions are found in fresh air rather than in the four walls of an office.
