Welcome back to "Engaging Reads". Here are the articles of this week that really made me think differently about curiosity, success and preserving family legacy.
Ever wondered why some things spark your interest while others don't? This fascinating piece from Nautilus reveals something surprising - our curiosity actually depends on what we already know! It's like a sweet spot between the familiar and the unknown. When something is too basic, we get bored, but when it's too complex, we tune out. What I love about this article is how it explains why we might be drawn to certain topics and completely skip others. It's a beautiful reminder that every bit of knowledge we gain opens doors to new curiosities!
Here's a refreshingly honest take on success from Sam Altman that feels like advice from a wise friend. Instead of the usual "follow your passion" talk, he shares practical insights about compound growth, taking risks, and building genuine relationships. What makes this piece special is how it strips away the mystery around success and focuses on timeless principles that actually work. Whether you're just starting out or well along your path, there's something here that'll make you think differently about your journey.
You know those family stories that never get told because no one thought to ask? This heartwarming article shares beautiful questions to ask our grandparents - questions that go beyond the usual "How was life back then?" What I found touching about this piece is how it helps us unlock memories and wisdom that might otherwise be lost. It's filled with conversation starters that could turn an ordinary chat into a precious moment of connection. These aren't just questions - they're keys to understanding our family's legacy!
