Why curiosity will rule the modern world - New Statesman 

 via @extensionguy (Jim Langcuster) on Twitter comes this article on the increasing importance of curiosity on people's success in life. The one point I think is missing is that curiosity requires us to believe that we don't know the answers and that there is likely a better way to do things. If you believe that you're doing a good enough job already and know everything you need to, then by definition you will lack curiosity. Perhaps being curious requires a degree a confidence in ones person, such that you can admit how much you don't know. The balancing act is in not being so confident that you think you don't have much to learn.
