When we practise curiosity, do we do so in the right way, towards the right people and things, at the right times, and for the right reasons? In other words, do we use our curiosity well?
Curiosity quite possibly did kill the cat, but it may have been because the cat was too curious, and in actuality would have died just as swiftly had it been incurious. There really is much to watch out for with curiosity if you are a cat. The same is probably true for students.
When we aspire to learn we are curious. We might be interested in answers, in developing a skill, perhaps in being better than our peers, or able to access the next level of something hitherto beyond our reach.
