Notwithstanding what it did to that poor cat...curiosity is a very important factor to living an intellectually healthy and balanced life. Looking at something...a gadget, a smiling baby, a math problem or a sunrise and saying, "Hmmm, that's awesome, I wonder how that works" is a great start to flexing your brain and helping it grow. Asking, wondering, questioning and learning are great exercises for your mind...

“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.” - C. S. Lewis
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.” - Albert Einstein
“All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.” - Calvin Coolidge
