A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” — Albert Einstein
One
of the most important benefits of being a curious person is that you will
become very open-minded towards new ideas, interests and adventures. Being
curious helps you to approach challenging tasks or problematic situations in a
positive, curious way rather than steadily visualizing the associated fears
towards a task.

Question
relentlessly. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions:
What is that? Why is it made that way? When was it made? Who invented it? Where
does it come from? How does it work? What, why, when, who, where, and how are
the best friends of curious people. Questions keep your mind engaged.

Keep
an open mind. Be open to learn, unlearn, and relearn. Some things you know and
believe might be wrong, and you should be prepared to accept this possibility
and change your mind.

Don’t
take things as granted. If you just accept the world as it is without trying to
dig deeper, you will certainly lose curiosity. Never take things as granted.
Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you.

Read
books, blogs, etc. Reading new things is another way to feed your curiosity and
develop it. Reading is a great way to continue learning as much as you can. You
might like to focus on just one thing but you should be open to as many
different topics and things as possible when it comes to reading. This can help
you build your curiosity even further.

Be
enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will allow you to be by far more interested in a
certain topic than without it. You can become enthusiastic by associating fun
and joy with the tasks you have to perform, rather than expecting them to be a
waste of time or irrelevant for you.
