Wondering

   "We humans have always been curious animals. We have a strong desire within us to know new things. The desire for knowing new things leads us to oceans, deep in forests, and in caves in remote times. After that, it leads us to new lands and continents. And today, the desire to know new things leads us to the moon, Mars, and space. Today, we are very curious about our future technology. The desire for knowing new things, meaning wondering, has a very special place in human history. Not because it leads us to the moon, but because every new idea we humans generate in our minds is the product of wonder. Throughout history, many great personalities appreciated the power of wonder. 

   Philosophers like Socrates quoted, 'Wisdom begins in wondering,' and his pupil Plato also admired the power of wondering and quoted, 'Wonder is the feeling of a philosopher.' It's not just philosophers who appreciate wondering as an important habit to be productive human beings; physicists like Nikola Tesla, known as the 'man of the future,' and Albert Einstein, known as a 'genius,' also give wondering a very important place in their lives. They acknowledged that the great discoveries and creations of their lives happened in a state of wonder. 

   So, wonder every time you have time and discover the hidden secrets of the world like Einstein, find your unique philosophy like Socrates, and create your great creations like Tesla."
