And that's what kids do; they allow their curiosity about everything to roam free. They are not afraid to ask, or explore, or try.

Why is the sky blue?

Where does this path go?

What happens if I jump my bike over this ramp?

Their curiosity is seemingly endless and we could learn a lot from them; if you don't ask why, you'll never learn anything new. If you don't explore, you won't see anything amazing. If you don't try, you'll never know. 

May we all keep that spirit of curiosity. 

Writer Samuel Johnson said: 

Curiosity is the thirst of the soul.
