"Curiosity kills the cat" is one thing that may be right in one angle of perspective. It might be right that our curiosity will bring us a tons of problems. But it’s not always be the case. I believe that curiosity will help us in the way on finding and surviving our lives. Coz, everyone expects to have answer in the end of the curiosity.

My version is "curiosity sure kills the cat, but not the researchers". Yes, we are a researcher to our own experiment, our own life. At the initial stage of experiment, we will start with an idea/theory which we will provide several questions to develop the ideas according to our interest.  I found it to be similar to life, when we were as young as toddlers, we had soooo many questions to be posed. That’s how curious we were when we started to be researcher. Along the way, we might have lesser question and curiosity for we already master how to lead a life and can answer our own questions by ourselves.

But i do think we still need curiosity throughout the project. If not, we could be halted in the middle of our project (like FYP =p) and not moving anywhere. The difference is the level of the curiosity and the way to express it. Knowing more things, i am sure we are smarter and more creative in getting our objective. Our entusiasm to the experiment will let the curiosity to still be on the air.

Yes, our lives will bring us to final line someday. And it’s not due to curiosity. It’s an answer for everyone even one without question.

One thing I personally often forget, my experiment is not over yet. Since I am still expecting good and reliable result at the end of my experiment, I do think I still need the curiosity. I have to learn from others and You.   For I am not a cat and I am a researcher of my life, my enthusiasm to it is shown by my curiosity and the perception of every answer to it.

"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 (1879-1955)]"
