This week's focus: Curiosity
Curiosity is an openness and desire to learn or know new things. Being curious helps you develop new ways of thinking which can help you be a better problem solver, be more empathetic, and be more interesting!
Without curiosity, you won’t grow as a person, meet new people, or have new experiences.
