Curiosity Doesn't Need Permission

One thing I've realised about curiosity is that it never waits until you're qualified.

It doesn't ask whether you have a degree.

It doesn't care if you're experienced.

It simply asks,

"What happens if I try?"

When I was younger, I wasn't following tutorials or reading books about technology.

I was just exploring.

Sometimes I opened settings for no reason.

Sometimes I clicked buttons just to see what would happen.

Sometimes I broke things.

And sometimes I learned something that stayed with me for years.

Looking back, I don't think the people who grow the fastest are always the smartest.

They're often the ones who stay curious for a little longer than everyone else.

Knowledge can be taught.

Curiosity can't.

It has to come from somewhere inside.

Even today, after years of working in technology, I still catch myself opening documentation just because I want to understand how something works.

Not because I have to.

Because I'm genuinely interested.

I hope I never lose that.

Some careers begin with qualifications.

Mine began with questions.
