"If you were curious, you would have asked questions."

Описание: This line from Ted Lasso perfectly captures what separates extraordinary professionals from average ones.

When a guest speaker visited my son's classroom, most people politely listened, then rushed back to their desks.

Meanwhile, one student stayed behind, asked thoughtful questions, and ended up with a mentorship opportunity no one knew was available.

The pattern is clear: curiosity creates opportunities.

Wherever you find yourself, a classroom, a BBQ, an industry conference, or team meeting, the person asking smart questions consistently gains advantages others miss.

The simple act of being genuinely curious about others consistently opens up new opportunities.

The beauty of curiosity as a career strategy? It works at every level, from entry-level to C-suite, and it costs nothing but attention.

I'm curious (naturally): Has a door ever opened for you because you asked the right question at the right time?
