Introducing the word: “curiositer”. (Episode 219)
A Curiositer is a person who is curious.
The Predicate Nominative for a person who is adventurous is “adventurer”. A person who takes on challenges is a “challenger”.
I think there should be a Predicate Nominative for someone who is curious, and “Curiositer” works just fine.
Personally, I am a “curious introvert”.
Or perhaps that should be, ‘An introverted Curiositer’.
And today was a perfect example of that.
I was being an introvert sitting on my island in Sweden, but from there I did three amazing interviews on creativity with drummer and artist Aimee Marcos; Karen Ballenden, Business Director at 180 Amsterdam, The Global Business Lead for their client Pepsi; and Angela Chiara Lento, Sales Director Italy for FrieslandCampina, the world’s largest dairy co-operation.
Aimee inspired me by saying: “Inspiration cracks open your mind and soul.”
Karen reminded me of the power of curiosity by saying: “When you embrace something, you are willing to find the opportunity within it.”
And Angela pointed out to me how: “If you scratch under the surface, creativity is (virtually always) collaborative.”
One interview done in Manila with an artist. One done in Amsterdam with an advertising executive and one done in Italy with a salesperson for dairy. All while never leaving my geometric dome on my island.
A good day’s work for a Curiositer.
Are you a Curiositer? If so, how are you feeding its curiosity?
