Youthful curiosity and wonder from "summary" of The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson
As a child, I was consumed by an insatiable curiosity about the world around me. Everything seemed new and exciting, waiting to be explored and understood. I remember feeling a sense of wonder at the simplest things - a bug crawling on the sidewalk, a cloud drifting lazily across the sky, the sound of birds chirping in the trees. I would spend hours lost in my own little world, asking questions and seeking answers to the mysteries that surrounded me. I was eager to learn about everything, from the stars in the night sky to the creatures that lived in the depths of the ocean. Each new discovery filled me with a sense of joy and excitement, fueling my desire to keep exploring and learning. My youthful curiosity knew no bounds, leading me to question everything and challenge the status quo. I was never content to simply accept things as they were; I wanted to know why and how they came to be. This thirst for knowledge drove me to seek out new experiences and push the boundaries of what I thought was possible. Looking back, I realize that my sense of wonder as a child was a precious gift. It allowed me to see the world in a way that few adults can, with a sense of awe and amazement at the beauty and complexity of the universe. I hope that we can all hold on to that youthful curiosity and wonder, even as we grow older and life becomes more complicated. It is what keeps us open-minded, engaged, and alive to the endless possibilities that surround us.
