They Say Men Never Grow Up, And Here Are 69 Wholesome Photos That Prove It (New Photos)

One of the biggest advantages that children have over adults is that they are always curious about the world.

As explained by Jeff Wetzler, Ed.D. in a post on Psychology Today, curiosity tends to fade with age. However, this is not necessary if you remain open to learning from others, questioning your assumptions, and looking for role models. On the other hand, your curiosity fades when you feel like you know everything or face social pressure.

By embracing curiosity, you gain access to new perspectives, improve your relationships, and learn more deeply. “Curiosity is not unique to children, it drives innovation, builds deep relationships, and makes life more interesting,” he said.

According to Wetzler, curiosity is contagious. So, if you want to rediscover it, you have to look for other people, potential role models, who are already curious.

“The important thing is them [the role model] show us what curiosity looks like and give us permission to be more curious,” he wrote in Psychology Today.
