My name is Jason Mejia and today I'm going to comment and encourage you to listen and to try some activities related to our topic for this podcast, curiosity. This is the second part of this episode, so here we go. The first activity that I'm going to do is to comment on 10 phrases that I found interesting in the reading section of our book. This curiosity really killed the cat. Well, first I have to say that most of the time this phrase or idiom is used when we get notice of something that probably would be better if we hadn't got that knowledge. Anyways, however, for me I consider this phrase sometimes is necessary to get notice of new or helpful information that maybe one day individual will need it. But coming back to the phrases I told you before, the first one says, curiosity helps to make the human brain the angel problem-solving organism to be. And for me that's true, yes it is true. Curiosity makes us learn new stuff and maybe one day those stuff could be the answer or solution for an issue. The second point is, curiosity makes the mind active. And again, I agree with this statement. When you learn something, we absorb those knowledge and we kept them in our mind. And that doesn't make us active, but be careful, too much knowledge could be overwhelming for you. The next one, I'm just going to say it. And it's up to you to establish your position and to say your comments. And it says, curiosity also makes us observe and anticipate new ideas and it leads us to discover new possibilities and ways of doing things. So, announce your comments if you have. And the last point is, a society, a workplace, or a family that encourages curiosity is dynamic, ignorant, and helpful. And for me, humans are creatures that never stop evolving. And that doesn't mean that one day we could have superpowers, no. Or things like those, no. What I mean is, if our knowledge is always getting bigger and bigger. And this is the reason why a person with too much knowledge could be dynamic, ignorant, and helpful. And those are the idioms or phrases that I have to comment. And then we go to the next activity that I have for you. And for the second activity, I would like you to try this with me. In this moment, please, of course. And the first thing that I want you to do is to observe and to pay attention to the details in your surroundings. The next one. Walk around and observe the room you are in. Take a deep breath, don't talk, but do use as many of your senses as possible. The third one. Write down or say what you noticed that you have never noticed before. Or what you noticed about your surroundings. Well, in my case, I'm in the patio of my house. And my surroundings are the garage and my garden. And what I noticed is that one of my pots is broke. And one of my leaves has a sprout. And how we get to that? Because we took the time for observing and for getting new knowledge. Because here we are practicing our curiosity. And the second activity, you can find it on page 101 and try to do it when you have time. And that's all for me. I hope you have enjoyed this podcast. Have a fantastic day. Take care.
