   I’m a junior in high school. People look at me strangely when I say that I wish I could go to school forever. You put my thoughts into beautiful words ❤

    I am nearly 60 yo first gen American, upper middle class never married, white woman —-seemingly nothing in common… however I can say personally when I’ve allowed my curiousity to lead me, I have always benefitted. When I’ve let societal norms, pressures, and obligations carry me through, while I have learned and benefitted to some degree, I have often been left empty, crushed, and broken. If we societally let curiosity lead every individual, we would be a much healthier and happier society. I applaud you Yara Shahidi!!! May you lead and thrive!!!

    00:00 🌍 The speaker reflects on the expansive imagination of childhood and laments the narrowing focus in adulthood, emphasizing the need for imagination in the present world.
    1:14 🧠 In today’s world, imagination is crucial for envisioning possibilities and addressing challenges; curiosity is highlighted as a key tool for building new realities.
    3:30 🎓 The speaker, a Harvard alum with a television show, faced a challenge blending academic and entertainment pursuits but emphasizes the universal struggle of juggling diverse interests.
    4:21 🤷‍♂ Societal pressure often pushes individuals towards specialization, limiting exploration of multiple passions, and underestimating the value of curiosity.
    6:04 🌐 Suppression of curiosity can lead to a false sense of certainty, hindering decision-making and personal growth; the speaker advocates for embracing curiosity.
    8:37 🚀 Curiosity’s results are described as “rupture,” challenging traditional norms, and emphasizing its potential to shape new possibilities and realities.
    10:07 ✨ Historical examples show that leaders of social change often pursued their passions and curiosities outside their designated fields.
    10:13 🌈 Curiosity’s byproduct is possibility, and the speaker encourages recommitting to curiosity as a way to expand options and build new futures.

    La curiosidad fue lo que me ayudó a salir adelante en un entorno infantil desafiante en extremo. Mi curiosidad me llevó a cuestionarme y buscar respuestas en libros y toda clase de dispositivos de acceso al conocimiento. Me abrió a otros horizontes y a una vida plena en todos los sentidos.
