Seth Godin Does It Again

Today must have been an intellectually stimulating day for Seth Godin. He wrote another brief entry simply asking "...which comes first, the curiosity or the success?"

Godin observes that most people who read multiple blogs and many books (in my opinion, anyone who has finished a full book in the past few months must be a diabolical genius), tend to be more intellectually curious and "thirsty" for knowledge. These people tend to be innovators and quick adopters of new ideas.

Particularly in this day in age when we are bombarded by information, have an abundance of information to process, and have many means in which to receive this information, it takes time for an individual to adapt to unlimited access to knowledge.

I agree that the most intelligent people are those who prioritize their education and search for their every query - in grade school, these were the children who were unafraid to raise their hands.
