Einstein did not credit his intelligence for his discoveries. He credited curiosity. "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." Every card in this collection exists because someone was curious about something and followed the question far enough to find something worth sharing.
- Research shows that curiosity improves learning and memory. The brain retains information better when it arrives in response to a question.
- You do not need to know more. You need to ask more. Curiosity is a starting point, not a talent.
