Dare to be curious — question almost everything

In his book, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, Hawking encourages us to be more curious. “Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future,” he said.

Your ability to imagine is a superpower

“The human mind is an incredible thing. It can conceive of the magnificence of the heavens and the intricacies of the basic components of matter. Yet for each mind to achieve its full potential, it needs a spark. The spark of enquiry and wonder.” — Stephen Hawking

“I have spent my life travelling across the universe, inside my mind,” Hawking said. For a more exciting life, nurture your imagination. It is one of the most important timeless skills you can have as an adult. It allows you to make connections that others might miss.

Invest time — choose alive time

Hawking thought time was too precious to lose. “I am very aware of the preciousness of time. Seize the moment. Act now,” he said.
