How many dogs have you seen today? If you’re a dog lover, chances are your social feeds are filled with pet photos. If you’re planning to have a puppy, you will buy books and watch educational videos to get ready.

Now, imagine you’re suddenly interested in a new field. You read a few articles or watch a few videos. Sooner or later, your curiosity will shape the way you perceive the world. Consequently, you will start to notice many more opportunities to learn about this field than you could have envisioned when you started your learning journey.

After a few years of deliberate practice, actively seeking to learn as much as possible in areas where you feel weaker, you’ll become an expert. Follow your curiosity and explore what ignites your interest.
