Curiosity – The Key to Unlocking Your True Potential

Aria Raina Kumar

 Curiosity is a word that often gets played around with, here and there, a gift that is sometimes forgotten, trapped, waiting to be used. People of all ages, colour and ethnicities are raised in the light of this invisible ray, the key to the future. One may not be able to release their complete inner potential without being able to summon a wave of curiosity.

Although I have only stepped on few stepping stones along the stream of life, I have filled my backpack with hope and thoughts that future generations will follow my path and use curiosity to maximise their full potential. There is no denying, that along the stream of life you may reach unstable stones but carry on and you will be rewarded along the way. There will never be a fortune teller to tell you when your struggles may appear trust me your are able to face them, it’s like a job with no training required. 

As the famous Albert Einstein once said ‘The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality’.

The future of the world depends on the decisions of future generations who must aspire to follow the paths created by their ancestors. 

In conclusion, I owe my ability to share these thoughts with you to my beloved mother, whose fantastic idea led to the creation of ISBUND. I wish you luck on continuing your journey to wherever life happens to guide you to.
