Which comes first, the curiosity or the success?

I was just browsing the internet in a search of some blogs of inspiring people to follow.

I found Seth’s Blog and immediately the second article I saw made me think.

Seth raised the question “Which comes first, the curiosity or the success?” and I thought I can discuss it openly on my own blog.

From my personal experience, I would say that the curiosity comes far earlier in the process than the success. Today and every day I found myself being curious about many subjects. Few of them I pursue with greater interest : web design, entrepreneurship, personal development. But successes in these areas don’t come easily and don’t come instantly. Curiosity just opens the doors for me to enter yet another dark room of possibilities. Success is somewhere in that dark room and the problem is that it is not always easy to understand where that success lies and how to get to it. Curiosity helps me to keep on going and learning and trying until I get to that place where I understand principles of this dark room, I can use those principles to achieve something, I can share the principles and help others benefit. That’s when I reach success in my definition.

Curiosity is a starting point of a journey, success is the end of it.
