Learning Agility – Be Curious

Following on from yesterday’s post on Learning Agility I was interested to find an article by Bill Gates on the BBC today about “The skills you need to succeed“:

Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.

I also place a high value on having a passion for ongoing learning. When I was pretty young, I picked up the habit of reading lots of books.

It’s great to read widely about a broad range of subjects. Of course today, it’s far easier to go online and find information about any topic that interests you.

Having that kind of curiosity about the world helps anyone succeed, no matter what kind of work they decide to pursue.

It’s very easy to become one dimensional, curiosity is a great way of becoming and staying multi-dimensional.
