Eh. Most people don’t even have this. It’s great to be a specialist, but a well rounded generalist is valuable as well. Some of the most creative people are are dilatantes as they are able to synthesize new things by combining knowledge of disparate categories. Staying curious and having a sense of purpose will give you an edge 90% of people don’t have in adulthood.
I agree and disagree. If they were telling you “just stay curious to get ahead” then I would agree, but in the specific context it came off, to me, more along the lines of “this is a goal you can work towards. Find ways to make yourself curious and find a sense of purpose.”
You’ll still have to find what ways you can use to work on yourself, but that’s where therapy and introspection come in, not internet strangers
