Keep learning with curiosity!!

In my last post I talked about setting up some exploration time to
continue learning in office.

Now if you think more about it, it just means that we need to be more
curious and apply curiosity to unearth new things.

Today while playing with my daughter I realized how she always uses
her curiosity to learn about the world around her. She is 18 month
old. Her actions are curiosity driven. And it's a stark contrast to
what we have as adults. We do actions with an eye on getting some
results. We do it to get to a desired result. But when you are
curiosity driven, you are not certain about the results and you are
just scanning to discover something new.


I aknowledge purpose driven actions are what makes the business run,
and gets the work done. Purpose driven action is essential but it's
always wise to spend half an hour of time for curiosity driven pursuits.

Uncovering the new features of a software, than only using the known
features should be a part of our work life. Known features of catia or
solidworks will help you get the work done, but uncovering new one
might help you in long term. So keep exploring.

Invest a few minutes of your time in this pursuit, be it catia or be
it solidworks or ansys or nastran or any other CAE software!!

Set aside the time and stick to the task. Explore. Remember it's a
curiosity driven exercise and you don't have to create something, just
learn. Be a child!!
