About this quote
Make time every day to notice, question, and create instead of drifting through habits that feel safe. Call out where you stopped asking simple questions and take one concrete step to fix it. Staying childlike in curiosity means consistent practice, honest effort, and owning the results.
When to use it
- A teacher uses the line to push students to stop memorizing answers and start asking deeper questions in class.
- An artist schedules 30 minutes of playful experimentation each morning to regain fear-free creativity.
- A researcher reminds the team to revisit basic assumptions instead of hiding behind complex methods.
- A manager tells their team to pursue small creative projects during downtime to rebuild curiosity and problem-solving muscle.
