Listening vs. Hearing- Part3

“If it has meaning for me, I will listen."-   foolish belief

In a recent article on U99.com Stephanie Kaptein wrote about Aspen Ideas Festival  podcast series on Creative Listening.  Today is part three of my thoughts and break down of that article.

Part 3 of Creative Listening is Amp up your curiosity

I realize that life is full of learning opportunities.  These opportunities are hidden in messages and are found in different sources.  At times we get comfortable in our knowledge in a particular industry that unless that industry changes drastically we feel safe.  This is also what gets us in trouble and stymies our growth.

To amp up your curiously we have to behave like a small child.  They are thirsting with curiously.  The curiosity muscle is still working inside them.  It is still flexible and open to understanding and hearing.

The podcast recommend that we ask ourselves,
Why is this true?
or even simply keep asking Why? at least 5-7 times(The 5-Why technique) to get to the truth of the message.  

Today's question is:
"How do you amp up your curiosity?"
