From darkness to light
After 10 years of working non-stop in the information technology industry, I’ve decided to take a break; Kick back, catch up, cook for my wife and think.
Not that the past 10 years have been without intellectual and personal challenges. But, there is a time in one’s life where momentum kicks in and new experiences become old habits and the willingness to try new stuff is diminished.
I want to re-kindle that childlike aspect in me that made me stick a wire into the nearest electrical outlet (that gave me a good jolt), learn to ride the skateboard or read the human body encyclopedia cover-to-cover. When we don’t have time for ourselves one of the first things to go is curiosity and without it something important is gone from us.
But curiosity is a renewable resource, given the will and the time.
Personal development, intelectual development and professional development, indeed, go hand-in-hand with CHANGE.
And, yes I agree, curiosity (sprikled with dreams)is the main driving force fueling human development throughout the ages.
Go for it!
