Albert Einstein stated: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
Leonardo da Vinci, an earlier genius, wrote: “Learning never exhausts the mind.”
These sum it up — the curiosity for learning, knowing, discovering — asking questions.
The adventure is what matters, much more than settled knowledge.
The status quo is the current order of the world, no change, no fluidity, keeping things as they are — playing safe, stability, the establishment.
