Have you ever been in a situation where you see things working for people and get filled with wonder, asking yourself, How does it work?" You get to inquire, to seek knowledge of what makes this and how to attain that, in order to fill up your knowledge.
Yeah, it definitely sounds familiar!
As humans, we get curious by nature when something touches us—or, more like, touches our fancy! If it fascinates us, we would want to seek more information about how it is to be.
Take Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity when he got curious about why anything he threw up always came down. The whole scenario touched his fancy, and he wanted to know more.
Throughout my entire life, I have found numerous things that have captivated my interest and curiosity. My curiosity in nature has been a combination of what has made me "What I am" and "Who I am today". Starting from being on Hive, almost everything I do is based on my quest to seek knowledge to understand all that fancies me.
I would not be on Hive today if I were not curious about nature. I was driven to satisfy my innate thirst to know how this platform works. I wanted to be more than just a regular person joining the blockchain, and every action taken has been towards that step.
Many of you may know this story because I have said it a lot of times and will say it again. It all started when a particular friend of mine, who joined Steem Hive, used the money to get a phone and was even able to pay his school fees while I was standing there and could not even afford to buy data on my phone.
I got driven, I got motivated, and I wanted to know how. I wanted to know how I could make this for myself too. And yes, being curious about this knowledge has led me to be focused on developing my account and helping me attain the name I have today.
Aside from Hive, my career path is involved too.
Yesterday, I shared a post about Why I Abandoned My Childhood Dreams and Found My True Calling, The whole process occurred due to my inquisitive nature.
I wanted to know more about engineering, as I have always been fascinated by how technologies function and am eager to play a part in contributing to their progress and improvement. I spent my personal time as a teenager googling and searching for career options to study. I got to understand the different fields of engineering and what they do. I made my choice to study mechanical Engineering when I figured it was close to studying Robotics.
Tell me, which Kid would not love the idea of wanting to learn to build a robot?
I moved further into knowing if I could study it in Nigeria, checking out which schools offer the courses, and making my plan on how I could make this dream a reality. My curiosity made me take action and pushed me to take every step towards realising my dream of becoming a mechanical Engineer. It felt like a passion that dwelled in me, influencing every decision I made.
And yes! Curiousity led me to where I wanted to be. led me into getting admission to the Federal University of Abeokuta to study Mechatronics Engineering, and here I am, a 400-level Mechatronics Student.
Yes, I was curious, and I made decisions, but the truth is, all this would not have been possible if curiosity was the only influence I had. I had the support of one more thing, which was the Grace of God! I would not have done it without him, and he helped make my rewards greater than the efforts I put in.
So tell me, where has your curiosity taken you?

I believe that most of the invention we have today is as a result of looking for something better. Mechanical Engineering is a sweet field for those that love it🤩.
I will be expecting to have one robot from your factory that will help with the dishes in my house.
Keep pushing in your quest for knowledge
Curiosity pushes us to seek answers, we want to know why this, and why that... as I stated in my post, it helps a lot of people find their passion in life and you are a good example of that.
Curiosity motivated you to be where you are today.
This is was an inspiring read
Curiosity does take one far. It's a reason why it's the only way for one to succeed on hive. Because if you approach this platform with a lackadaisical attitude, you won't achieve anything.
It must have been funny seeing your friend making money, enough to get a new phone and even paying his school fees!!😅.
That's a lot.
It was nice reading this
Yes, that's right, we can't do anything without the help of God. You have reached there with His help
God helps those who help themselves.
I know it is a cliché but it's the truth.
Your curiosity facilitated your way to help yourself and so the help of God accompanied you.
Whenever you decide to unleash something and are sincere about it, God's help reaches for sure guiding your pathway.
Curiosity is one good thing, it has helped us aquire a lot of knowledge. The hive platform was a mystery but now we know what it's all about.
Thanks for sharing.
An inspiring publish @starstrings01. So motivating. Curiosity is the key to doing and achieving things we never know we can achieve because it keeps giving us that push to go forward and do more things. Thanks for sharing this motivating post. Wishing you the best.
Do you know that this was my first time hearing this your life story and your journey to hive? Perhaps I haven't join hive when you told this story. I see clearly how curiosity placed you in a position you found yourself today. It's good that you also acknowledged the grace of God. This is quite motivating
Thanks for sharing this Boss!
Oh this is surely interested!
Curiosity to build robots??...that's rare to find!
Having those passion alone is a big push of motivation and I am sure you have one of those out of the ordinary robot thingy you have created.
The happiest thing in life is figuring what you really love to do. I'm glad you found your way around that and around Hive too!
Without one being curious, I doubt if the person will be able to make advancement in life.
Curiosity drives one into seeking answers for the unknown things which when gotten adds to one's wealth of knowledge.
Curiosity is good but one has to be careful about it, for sometimes it can be bad too.
Curiosity is not bad after all. It brings about new things.. makes us realize ourselves and potentials. Just like you being curious to know why someone will buy phone, pay school fees and you have nothing. I was feeling bad before reading your post because I am always too curious according to people. I love doing what women would not want to do. But no more. I will rather do more and get more hight in life.
Thanks for sharing.
Your journey is an encouragement for others to follow their passions, be curious, and take steps towards their dreams.
Curiosity can take us to places we never imagined, and your story is a testament to that.
Keep exploring, learning, and embracing the curiosity that has brought you this far. Your future holds even more incredible possibilities!
Thank you very much. I hope you also follow your thoughts and try to satisfy your curiosity. You don't know where it can take you.
