You will notice a connection among these:
1. Why gambling excites you?
2. Why do people go on vacations?
3. Why do suspense stories sell more than self-help books?
4. Why a movie is not as interesting the second time?
5. Why are the boys crazy about sports?
And that connection is- Unknown excites everyone.
Life is boring if you know everything that’s going to take place. It’s no different than driving to work using the same route every day. What keeps us glued to sports is the twist and turn it brings every second.
A part of each one of us loves adventure. We want to explore the unexplored. We want to see the places we have never been to. But, when it comes to life everyone wants to keep moving in a straight line. WHY?
Assume that you are not going to lose your job, come what may, will you still be excited about bringing new ideas? Will you still be passionate about thinking out of the box? Will you still be interested in setting new standards? Some will, though most will not.
Imagine right before the interview, you are aware that you have been selected; will you still take time to go an extra mile for preparing?
Unknown excites us! Unknown keeps us moving forward. Unknown pulls out the best in us. Unknown makes us more efficient. Unknown stretches us to a new level.
The fear of the unknown always pushes us to come out of our comfort zone and do something we have never tried before. Only the curiosity to solve the puzzle has led to thousands of discoveries.
