To know is to arrive; to ask questions is to embark on a quest. People whose lives are characterized by a question mark (?) rather than a period (!), who look for learning opportunities everywhere they go. I say again, "To be a lifelong learner is both fun and functional, and all we need to travel along that path is a humble heart and a curious mind." Every person we meet, a situation we are in, books we read, etc. can teach us something; each experience holds within it an important lesson; in every moment is a message waiting to be discovered. When we embrace the spirit of inquiry and curiosity, we embrace life. How wonderful it is that this life is an inexhaustible source of wonders. How exciting to learn that the excitement of learning can last a lifetime. Even young Jesus “listening to [the Jewish teachers] and asking questions” and they in return “were amazed at his intelligent answers” (Luke 2:46-47).
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
