Guy Browning on how to be interesting (The Guardian)
"The more interested you are, the more interesting you become. In the same way, the more boring you are, the more likely you are to find everything else boring.As being interesting is one of those keys to being an effective communicator in our field, I thought it worth a re-post.Interesting people can generally find something to interest them in boring people, but boring people are still bored by interesting people. The quickest way to interest someone is to be interested in them. If you sit next to someone and listen to them, and ask questions and generally appear riveted, they'll go away thinking you're a fascinating individual, even though you've said virtually nothing."

This is great. I think I will use it in class this summer. I don't think we can explore enough - which means we need to make time for our curiosity in life. It is not something that we have to think about or plan (I have to be curious so I can be a better planner! or I have to be curious about this in order to be a better planner!), just let our hearts run wild.
