Curious....an eagerness to learn. Induce by one desire to seek the understanding behind the existence of particular event. The development of knowledge is preceded by a high curiosity, ushered by the action implemented to discover. Subsequently lead to result. Whether the result acquired is a failure or success, it is norm that it lead to another chain of curiosity.
Curiosity is very powerful tool. Without one. There is no science as today. Newton, the father of classic mechanic was a very curious man. there was myth saying that the theory of gravity was started when an apple fall on Newton's head. Curiosity stimulate Newton to find answer of why the apple fell. consequently lead to the finding of gravity.
The environment for today did not do much help to aroused the curiosity of the students. The primary school, the secondary school and the university. All years of studying is a mere pursuit of a piece of paper, the certificate, diploma, degree...etc. The education system itself is very best in producing computer alike human. Just good in memorizing but less technical aspect. Just take a final year student of mechanical engineering student and ask him what is 1st law of thermodynamic, most of them could not recall the basic principal during the freshman year.No wonder the country is flooded with thousand of unemployment every year. what is the point of having thousands of 'certified' graduate that poor in delivering job efficiently.
so what is the weakness here. Simple, we are not curious enough.
