There is no path that leads to 100% success. It does not exist. Just get curious. Don't fake it till you make it. You'll be fine. The dirty little secret is curiosity is kind of like the churral, if you will, for anything. But how do you make people more curious? This segue isn't one of my favorite topics but I have an idea about this.
“With enough curiosity, self-confidence is irrelevant.” Tinkered Thinking is a writer, artist, author and creator. He is also the worthy winner of our ‘White Mirror’ competition. His writing includes a series of ‘Lucilius Parables’, short stories dispersed throughout time and space designed to help readers reconceptualise their experience of being alive. He joined the show to discuss writing, technology, curiosity, optimism and MUCH more! Important Links:
