The saying “curiosity killed the cat” might have been coined by someone who wanted everyone to be like them—a know-it-all who feels there’s nothing left to learn because they already know everything.
But the truth is, if you think you know everything, you actually know nothing. Believing you are always right means closing yourself off to learning new things—because, in your mind, there’s nothing left to discover, right?
Enter Curiosity. She serves as a reminder that saying “I don’t know” isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength and a willingness to learn. Staying curious opens the door to acquiring the tools needed to advance your career. These “tools” could be anything from social skills to programming, drawing, crafting, or even learning to read the room.
On the flip side, being stubborn and refusing to learn—because you think you already know everything—will leave you exactly where you are now, stuck and stagnant.
Remember, adopting an “I don’t know” mindset empowers you to grow and progress in your career. In contrast, a “know-it-all” attitude can halt your career development entirely.
Stay curious. Meow.
