Have you ever spent time speaking with young children? If you have, then you may have noticed that young children are just about the most curious creatures on the planet! Not only do they seem to want to know everything, but they also seem to enjoy the entire process of coming up with questions and asking them. This inclination is particularly interesting because even though some of their questions can be strange or even rude, they almost always come from a place of genuine curiosity. The world is a colourful and beautiful place. So it is no wonder that people who are new to it are so keen to explore it and discover every little thing there is to know about it.

Curiosity is one of the most beautiful qualities of human beings. In children, this quality of curiosity is not obstructed by hesitancy or the need to be polite, so it is more apparent. However, all human beings are inherently curious, just like young children.
