In hindsight, we label those people as successful, as smart, or rich, but the common trait across all of them has been curious.
Yeah, they're not interesting.
So because of that, they don't attract other smarter, interesting people.
And therefore, they won't be able to do something very meaningful in the world.
Mm-hmm.
So it's kind of like, it's less about, and it applies to your personal relationships and personal life too.
It's not just about professional success.
Like you'll have a more fulfilling life with your wife or your kids if you're a more curious person.
You ask them more questions.
You take interest in them, right?
So that's the one quality everybody wants in personal relationships is like taking interest in them and like actually understanding them better or like being curious about common things.
And so it's not just being curious leads to success.
It's more that people around you want you to be successful if you're curious because you will have more compounding and fulfilling relationships.
The transistor.
Like, you know the story of the transistor?
Yeah.
So Bell Labs was basically employing as many, like history adjusted, as many telephone engineers back then as the number of software engineers today.
But only three people cared enough to question whether you should use these really hot giant vacuum tubes for amplifying telephone signals.
So vacuum tubes were very big, power-hungry, and very hot.
And so they were not fault-tolerant, and it's very expensive.
