Why is it important to always be curious in life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curiosity is key to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/keep-learning-keep-growing\/\">lifelong learning<\/a>. Arnold Schwarzenegger says that being curious transforms the people around you into potential teachers and attracts those who recognize your eagerness to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at how to stay curious and keep an open mind about learning new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-stay-curious\">How to Stay Curious<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to always be curious, don&#8217;t hesitate to inquire about others&#8217; experiences and their fields of expertise; people are often glad to share their knowledge if you adopt a humble approach. Asking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-and-why-questions\/\">&#8220;how&#8221; and &#8220;why&#8221; questions<\/a> is particularly helpful when it comes to retaining what other people teach you, as they help you make connections with other things you\u2019ve learned, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-understand-anything-deeply\/\">deeper understanding<\/a>. Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/lifelong-learning-concept\/\">continuous learning<\/a>, your grasp of the world expands, and with it, your control of your life\u2019s circumstances, easing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/choose-your-own-path\/\">your path<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fulfill-your-dreams\/\">achieving your dreams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Teachers, Coaches, Mentors, and Sponsors<\/strong><br><br>Whereas Schwarzenegger lumps everyone you can learn from into the general category of \u201cteacher,\u201d other experts classify them by the nature of the teacher-student relationship. For instance, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/empowered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Empowered<\/em><\/a>, Marty Cagan and Chris Jones write about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/empowered#lead-like-a-coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the importance of having a coach<\/a> to inspire you, help set your overall direction, and encourage you to stretch your abilities. However, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-motivation-myth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Motivation Myth<\/em><\/a>, Jeff Haden suggests finding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-motivation-myth\/1-page-summary#find-a-teacher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a high-achieving professional to emulate<\/a> because a professional who isn\u2019t a coach by trade won\u2019t cheer you on or cut you any slack\u2014they\u2019ll just explain what it takes to succeed and expect you to do it on your own.&nbsp;<br><br>There are other types of teachers in line with the relationships Schwarzenegger describes who can help you advance toward your goals\u2014namely, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/optimizing-success\/202101\/role-model-mentor-coach-or-sponsor-which-do-you-need\">mentors and sponsors<\/a>. A <strong>mentor <\/strong>is distinct from a coach in that your relationship isn\u2019t transactional. It\u2019s a coach\u2019s <em>job <\/em>to help you develop skills, whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/ellevate\/2018\/10\/24\/how-to-benefit-others-and-pay-it-forward-through-mentorship\/?sh=4a6ad93328d3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a mentor helps guide you as a way to \u201cpay it forward\u201d<\/a> and invest in the future of their field. A <strong>sponsor<\/strong>, on the other hand, is someone who helps you move forward not just by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/improve-your-skills\/\">developing your skills<\/a> but by <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/charter\/6130567\/sponsor-mentor-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boosting your visibility and reputation<\/a>, which is essential in fields like film and politics where networking is of paramount importance.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Schwarzenegger writes that throughout his various careers in bodybuilding, movies, and politics, <strong>he\u2019s never stopped being a student.<\/strong> His hunger to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/keep-on-learning\/\">keep learning<\/a> propelled his growth at every stage of his life. By viewing himself as a perpetual student, he learned valuable lessons from every available teacher who crossed his path. Even when working out in a gym\u2014an arena in which he\u2019s an undisputed master\u2014he\u2019ll still approach his fellow weightlifters to inquire about any exercises they\u2019re doing that he\u2019s unfamiliar with. As governor of California, he was surrounded by policy experts whom he questioned incessantly so he could understand every angle of the complex issues he faced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Schwarzenegger shows how the line between teacher and student is often blurry, and an expert can learn from anyone, even someone who\u2019s not as expert as they are. More than that, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/learning-through-teaching\/\">learn by teaching<\/a>, because when you teach, you reexamine your knowledge from a different perspective\u2014your student\u2019s. This is called the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/how-be-brilliant\/201206\/the-prot-g-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prot\u00e9g\u00e9 effect<\/a>,\u201d by which your understanding of a concept is improved when you explain it to someone else, not just because you have to retrieve it from your mind, but also because you need to make it clear enough that someone else can understand it too.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you stop learning when you get out of school?
