Choose Curiosity Over Passion

When we say we are passionate about something, it usually stems from a place of knowledge. We are well-informed about the subject at hand and function from a place of knowledge. Curiosity, on the other hand, is the thirst for knowledge. It denotes a need to learn more about a topic of interest. It fuels our learning and pushes us out of our comfort zone to get the questions in our minds answered.  In this episode of Take aPause, Varun talks about what happens when we choose to follow our passion. He also shares how some of the most genius minds in history have had diverse streams of interest.
