Rx For Resilience: Curiosity
Curiosity is a quality related to exploration and investigation. Curiosity derives from a desire to learn and acquire knowledge that correlates with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). April is a month full of days that ignite the power of these amazing fields to find a cure for cancer, colonize Mars or show us earth’s regenerative properties through the depths of sea exploration. This month, you can participate in Astronomy Day, Math Awareness experiences , Robotics Week, and Earth Day.
For children and adults, curiosity is linked to psychological, emotional, social, and health benefits. These include but are not limited to making people happier, boosting achievement, expanding empathy, strengthening relationships, and improving overall health. All of these aspects make us more resilient in the face of challenge.
Besides the natural critical thinking that STEM promotes, it encourages creative thinking, unique solution-solving and innovation which can hatch a new business or develop a new breakthrough in technology that can close the equity gap. This expands a level of curiosity that may lead to future career opportunities, new inventions, and/or better ways to teach the next generation.
Are you curious about:
Regardless of what sparks your interest, being curious and expanding beyond your horizons can make you stronger, happier and healthier. You never know if one of those curiosities will become a hobby or a future career or both! . As Einstein once said, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, life, and the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery daily.”
