Writing Quote Wednesday: Curiosity and Rigor
Last fall I watched several 99u videos as part of a class I was taking. One video with Andrew Zuckerman really stood out.
Andrew Zuckerman’s 99u talk: “On Curiosity, Rigor, and Learning as You Go”
My favorite quote from this video is this:
“When curiosity and rigor get together, something happens.”
–Andrew Zuckerman
You see, it’s not enough to be curious about something. You have to work on it diligently for it to come to fruition. While sometimes I worry my rigor might kill my curiosity, it’s also dangerous to have curiosity with no follow through. One without the other is detrimental to the work.
