Gayle’s 100% Cotton Summer Sleep Wear at 649 Main Street Downtown Red Bluff Curiosity leads to lifetime of growth For those of us who have curiosi- ty-oriented personalities, literal or allegorical, it is like waving a flag in front of a bull. We become totally enmeshed in finding that elusive piece. Some curious-type people are investigative detectives, some are journalists, and others are researchers or scientists. There are even those individuals who pursue the solving of puzzles as a hobby. Aren’t we thankful for their relent- less curiosity? Were it not for the curiosity of Thomas Edison, we would not enjoy the luxury of electric lights and other electrical gadgets. Curiosity leads our little children to constantly ask, "Why?" We some- times tire of that often repeated word. If we can just remember to catch a glimmer of where the child is headed with that question, we can be thank- ful for the curious mind. Curiosity often leads to knowl- edge. Sometimes we get mixed up and think that the knowledge must come first. Those who have been in the teach- ing field any amount of time come to know that curiosity and motivation are the precursors to acquiring, retaining and acting on knowledge. We realize that as teachers we cannot act only as a mother bird, dropping "worms" of knowledge into the waiting infant bird mouths of students. Part of the job is to motivate those little bird students to leave the nest and fly. Knowledge alone doesn’t cut it; knowledge without motivation is just so much information in a storage building. Knowledge must be approached with critical thinking, analyzing, com- paring and testing to be profitable. Carolyn Barber It is only by examining the infor- mation taken into our minds that it can become truly useful. Teachers and other employees often attend in-service training with- in their organizations or attend con- ferences. There is always the hope of learning something new or helpful. Sometimes we hope for a "quick fix" to a problem or a sure fire way of teaching every person to read. The reality is that we may pick up some tips on doing our jobs better. The total solution to every task will not be presented. It is important to remember that all of what is taught is not all there is to know. Most writers and presenters have a bias and will tailor their pre- sentations around that bias. Some- times we listeners share that bias and the informa- tion is something we can internalize and use. Other times we can use only bits and pieces. I like the eclectic approach, a well rounded approach, one that uses the best of all methods. Sometimes when we blindly accept a method, an approach or a solution as a whole, we forget to look at other options which will work for unique individuals. The simple definition of knowl- edge includes an organized body of information -- in contrast, wisdom is defined simply as being wise; sound- ness of judgment. It has been said that lifetime growth is much more than a class- room issue. Its boundaries spread far beyond academe. Lifetime growth is inextricably intertwined with the idea of vital curiosity. The message, "don’t give up learning." Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.
