Infinitely Curious
If I looked at myself like a super hero, my super powers would be that I am infinitely curious in intellectually stimulating knowledge. I am super curious on knowing how things work, how they were built.
1. Knowing satisfies my curiosity which can be very strong and demanding. but I don't think satisfying my curiosity is enough.
2. Once I know how things were built, how they work, it grows my knowledgebase in understanding the world, how to live in it, how to be inspired by it and how to appreciate it.
3. The next step is that my knowledgebase serves as a pool of resourceful ideas for me to rely on when I am creating anything. There are very few fundamentals ideas that cut across in so many aspects of life. My strength or my utility of my knowledgebase is picking seemingly random unrelated things to the average person and identifying fundamental cross-cutting patterns and ideas combining them to create something novel and brilliant.
4. I am infinitely curious but not in every subject. Obviously there are subjects that bore me to death. They are also other subjects that pumps my brain with caffeine and keeps it lit for like forever, chases sleep away and just lets me dig deeper.
5. My current obsession is everything computers. And I find that by an extension, I am obsessed with what powers the 21st century. Code and Computers. I have so many other curiosities like video production, space travel, building businesses, venture capital, I am excited about all these because it means there will always be something for me to learn. I believe as time goes by I might lose interest in some things or just know enough of something that I feel like it is the right time to pursue a different topic. But whatever happens I have an endless supply of interesting things to keep pursuing.
6. If there is anything that I want to pursue forever, it will be pursuing knowledge. There is so much beauty in knowing things.
7. I wish that the day that I leave this earth.
