Einstein once said that curiosity was his friend and his memory a faithful servant. Well then, what’s more important; the question or the answer? Well buddy I’ll submit to you, it depends who you ask. Because if the person you are asking is you, then the question is more important, because the simple act of asking a question sends you on a journey to find the answer and discover new things, for which more questions arise. This is how a high IQ active mind works. let’s talk yes?

You see, this topic came up a couple of years ago in our think tank, and Mark, who is a genius in his own right, told me; “I have no idea why my mind wants to have all this information. I’ve always been curious all my life, but I never thought that a simple trip abroad would require so much thought.”

It doesn’t ‘require’ as much thinking, but your mind enjoys the process, so it just runs away. There’s nothing wrong with taking curiosity and combining it with imagination, plus belief, creating a world within a world, hey, did you see the movie “Limitless” and “Inception” reminds me of all that, with a little of “Matrix” in the mix – very good.

For my reader, so you can follow along, here are some tips for getting into curiosity mode. You could try this; Take the package, read the ingredients, and then try to reimagine the supply chain, from the crops in the field, to the tractors used, to the rubber, steel, and hydraulic systems, who made it, where it came from, to the mines. from the iron ore, to the rubber vulcanizing plant, to the GPS manufacturer that runs the electronic hardware inside the combine harvesting the wheat, to the seeds, to the labs that engineer the seeds, to the BMW that drives the guy in the lab, home, college kids, friends and family, the lady next to you. How many degrees of separation is she, you, from that product you have in your hands?

That’s what I do. I observe people and put together their life stories, guess their profession, what brought them there, what they are thinking, based on body language, facial expressions, clothes, shoes, etc. It’s amazing how good you can get at this, and what if you went a little deeper into their life, asked them questions, and found that you were dead in your estimation? It happens to me all the time.

Try this too on your next walk, look at a commercial building, imagine the interior, the layout, the furniture. How accurate do you think your projections of the room, lighting, temperature, airflow, furniture in those rooms, buildings, and businesses are as you walk down the street? You may be surprised at how close your estimates are. Maybe there is a possibility to ride a brain wave on the photons flowing through the window? Then step into the building to see how close your predictions are, hone your skills and refine your predictions and probability judgments in your mind, it will be easy to remember when you were wrong and when you were right.

Try it, you’ll be surprised: Curiosity is a wonderful attribute for a high IQ, fast processing mind.
