Why and How !

Daily writing prompt
What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Since childhood I have been curious about everything and anything. Living in a seaside town, I asked why waves kept on rolling, how they were formed, why water is salty, how low tide and high tides were formed, how winds blew, why moon came out in night or sun during day, how beaches were formed etc etc.

As I grew, this inquisitiveness grew. From nature it came on to people. Why some students got good marks, who wrote text books, how could some students remember so much, how could some speak so well , why do some get so angry etc etc

Later this why and how shifted to machines, gadgets, factories, products, eatables, God, religion – everything that came my way.

Now also decades later, at 58 years of age, I still excitedly bubble at seeing new things like how people earn online, how WordPress works, what is SEO, how plugins work, who are the successful bloggers, how have they become successful etc. etc.

Though sometimes people get irritated, but I attribute all my learnings, experiences to this single habit of asking “why and how“. This habit has opened upon realms of knowledge which otherwise would have remained unknown and mysterious. This trait has enriched life, made it so meaningful and worthy.

Looking back to my childhood, I now realize that how patient my parents were when I asked so many questions. They patiently listened, discussed with me the answers, got me books to further kindle the fire of inquisitiveness. I think developing this trait is one of the best gift parents can give to their children.
