Curiosity killed the cat

I am sure that you all know the proverb "Curiosity killed the cat". I like that proverb very much, because I have been in many situations, where I got into trouble because of my curiosity.

I am very curious person. I want to know everything. If there is no way to find out something, I feel very bad and disappointed.

I am curious, but I am not one of those curious people who ask prying questions. I don't put my nose where it does not belong and that is important to mention. I really respect other people's privacy.

In my opinion, every question needs answer. I can't accept questions that don't have answers. In situations where there are some questions without answers, I am doing my best to find out all things that I want to know. I am capable of doing impossible things to get information. That is good skill for my job. I am working in telecommunication company where everything happens very quickly and you need to find out all the necessary information in a short time, if you want to work well and to be successful.

But sometimes, curiosity can really kill the cat. It killed me many times when I was a child. I wanted to find out why nobody allowed me to touch the stove and when I touched it I realized why, but with a burn on my hand. Curiosity also killed me few years ago when I wanted to find out more information about one business project and when I got all information, my supervisor charged me to help others and give them instructions on how to work. There were many questions and confusing situations that I had to resolve. That brought me a lot of extra work without extra money.

I was that cat many times, and what about you? Have you ever been killed by curiosity?

Curiosity killed me, but I am still alive. Do you know the second part of this warning proverb? "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back." When we want to find out something, we take a risk, but that risk could be worth it. We can achieve satisfaction. Cat is still alive, with new knowledge and new information, ready for new challenges and new experiences that life brings. Questions exist to be asked. We should always feel free to ask everything what we want to know.

Thank you very much for reading.
