保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何独立思考》》· How to Think for Yourself · 领导 · 认知 · 学习 · 投资
The most important active step you can take to cultivate your curiosity is probably to seek out the topics that engage it. Few adults are equally curious about everything, and it doesn't seem as if you can choose which topics interest you. So it's up to you to find them. Or invent them, if necessary. Another way to increase your curiosity is to indulge it, by investigating things you're interested in. Curiosity is unlike most other appetites in this respect: indulging it tends to increase rather than to sate it. Questions lead to more questions. Curiosity seems to be more individual than fastidiousness about truth or resistance to being told what to think.

白话
培养好奇心最重要的主动一步,是去找那些真正让你来劲的话题。成年人很少对什么都好奇,而且兴趣似乎不是能随便选的,所以你得自己去找,找不到就自己造一个。另一个办法是纵容好奇心:对感兴趣的事深挖下去。好奇心和其他欲望不一样,越满足它反而越旺,不会餍足,一个问题会带出更多问题。还有一点,好奇心比“对真相讲究”和“不被人牵着走”更个人化,每个人好奇的点都不一样,没法照搬别人的清单。
上下文
格雷厄姆把好奇心列为独立思考三要素之一,这里讲如何主动培养和喂养自己的好奇心。

有没有一件你一直有点好奇、却总没花时间深挖的事?这周能不能给它半小时?
