Life doesn’t come with a manual

Curiosity is one of the most basic elements of human nature. It's a funny little thing too — curiosity is what allowed us to become the dominant species on the planet, but it's also what has killed us. We're curious about death, but we don't want to actually die; we're curious about drinking, but we don't want to become alcoholics; we're curious about sex, but we don't want to contract STIs or end up as teen parents. But when you really look at why we are curious, i think it isn’t our fault. We weren’t given handouts as to how to live when we were Born. 

The internet has made us more curious than ever before — to the point where some would say we're becoming dangerously so — and with our constant access to information at our fingertips, there's quite literally no limit to our curiosity.

Life doesn’t come with a manual. We learn from our parents and friends, from teachers and experts and from the books we read. But sometimes, the best advice is the most difficult to hear. If you're looking for some advice that isn’t always sugar coated and comes with no strings attached, you should lean towards elderly people especially your grandparents. 

Curiosity is one of the most important qualities you can have. It has led us to all of our greatest achievements: the discovery of fire, the invention of space travel. Curiosity has also led to many things we take for granted today: antibiotics, vaccines, and even clean drinking water. You name it... if it's something you use and appreciate every day, chances are that at one time or another someone with a healthy dose of curiosity was responsible for it.

Curiosity has no set path. There is no right way or wrong way. The best thing to do is to figure out what kind of person you are, what you enjoy and what makes you happy. Ask questions, be curious and understand that our journey through life will be different than the other person sitting next to us. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of success and getting further in life than the person next to us. The harder path is actually figuring out who we are and how we can express ourselves to the world, because this is the only way we can become truly successful.


Humankind has always been curious, always seeking to explore. Today we are curious about new technologies, new jobs, new opportunities and new challenges. We are curious about the future and what it holds. We're asking questions, charting our discoveries and relishing in the rewards of curiosity.

Every so often, if you look up at the sky, a shooting star will dash across the night's sky. How do you explain that? How do you explain that most animals have only 5 senses, yet we humans have 7? What is our intuition and why do we have it? Why do animals behave in certain ways?

There are so many questions that are not answered.

We try to predict the future, and make sense of the past. We want to know what our purpose on this planet is, and how did everything get here? But in the big scheme of things, how much does it truly matter anyway?

Summarily, Curiosity is a driving force that has gotten us to where we are today. Curiosity should be encouraged and cultivated. Curious culture is our way of encouraging people to learn and discover more about the world around them, and Curiosity has the power to change opinions and beliefs and it believe it has the power to change the world.

How we will live when we are born is actually added to us. This is why instinctive movements in all living things, including humans, exist. The emotion and discovery added to these instinctive movements in curiosity is the fuel of processes like the inventor. Although curiosity and laziness are seen as opposites, they act as the ignition wick of some innovations.

Curiously born here, lol—the exact point of view. Where we are natured to be curious, Sometimes I believed in a lower form of animals where nobody thought them, still could do the nature they had. They don't need a manual too, but they were born with such called instinct. So we do.

You've struck gold with this, man. It's so carefully thought out. You said it all. I agree with all that you explained. I've been curious all my life. I've sought to understand how things work, and how they happen. But, sometimes I do not get my satisfied answer. Makes me think if there's actually an end to all the wonders around us.

Well said, life does not come with a guidebook; we must learn from those who have gone before us, such as our grandparents and experts, and it is perfectly acceptable to be curious and ask questions.

Curiosity for positive things is good but this curiosity is bad for things we didn't have seen but listened in virtual world. We should be curious for learning purpose but didn't mean we crash the learning source. Thanks brother for exploring another nature that needed to be polished.

Well I think if we look at curiosity abstractly, we can’t classify it as being good or bad.

Life is one big lab where we do all sorts of experiments to see what works and what gives rise to what. Without these experiments, I don't think we'd be 'living'.

Curiosity pushes us to question things which in turn enables us to grow progressively.

Curiosity helps us to discover new things in life. Like you said, "life doesn't come with a manual" which means that we will search for what we need, what will happen and so. Curiosity exposes us to new ways of doing things and living life as a whole

Curiosity is the engine that drives us to explore, learn and invent. It is the characteristic of intelligent people who want an explanation and a reason for everything, and if they do not find it, they invent it

Exactly my friend, from the past, has been the driving force of curiosity in humankind, which has gotten them to where they are today. Because curiosity is the important basic element in human nature, I really believe that it's power can discover and change the world.

I think curiosity is a neutral term. Right, it’s power can change the world but it can also destroy it.

When this musician-portable misbehaved with Poco lee the dancer, Olamide made mention of this line "life doesn't come with a manual, we only learn each day from our mistakes and that of others" and that is what i also believe.

There are many positive aspects to curiosity. Because of this curiosity we are able to move the world today towards progress.
