In my experience, the most successful are those who ask the most questions. Those who fail were almost always those who assumed they knew but really didn't. -Andrew @wordpost Having worked with several young copywriters and graphic artists, I agree.

I've always viewed curiosity the same way as Ogilvy (even before I knew who that was.) I wrote a response on my own blog here: http://bit.ly/2umZiY Thanks for the inspiration! Great post.

I know just what you mean. And re: the mosquito question, you made me wonder too. Answer? The females need the extra oomph from blood for blessing the world with more baby mosquitos. The males, though, only eat plant juices. Or so they say here: http://www.mosquitoes.org/LifeCycle.html Thanks Rebecca… I know just what you mean.

In what other profession could be spend so many hours each day learning new and interesting things? I love the tidbits you've shared. Who knew THAT about mosquitoes although I have to question the source. If only females bite, how do males get the sustenance they need to survive? It is amazing to consider how inflation has affected our financial expectations. The value of money has always been subjective. I already knew that about rainbows since rainbows are not physical manifestations, they're an illusion created by refracting sunlight as it reflects on raindrops. It is also impossible to reach the 'end' of a rainbow because your ability to see it is entirely dependent on your position and distance away from it. *ponders* Now of course I wonder why it arches... *wanders off to Google* Thank you again for sharing these little 'facts'. Who knows how we'll use them in the future. :-) Curiosity is one of the reasons I became a writer. In what other profession could be spend so many hours each day learning new and interesting things?
