Corea Ceramic Master

There's something absolutely inspiring and beautiful about watching a master work. You see how they have made their skill into an art. However, we often don't see the years of mistakes, failures, and hard questions. Every master started with curiosity--how do I make something beautiful? How do I help someone solve a problem? It starts with a question, and the journey towards mastery begins.


 

And the Runners-Up Are:

#1 - Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic: Curiosity Is As Important As Intelligence

In his Harvard Business Review blog post, Tomas defines IQ (Intellectual Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), and CQ (Curiosity Quotient) and explains why

People with higher CQ are more inquisitive and open to new experiences. They find novelty exciting and are quickly bored with routine. They tend to generate many original ideas and are counter-conformist. Individuals with higher CQ are generally more tolerant of ambiguity. This nuanced, sophisticated, subtle thinking style defines the very essence of complexity.
