What actually drives us to learn? It might come from curiosity and amazement and that we should have an open mindset to be able to keep learning. By diving into one topic, we are able to take a different look at others, motivating ourselves to learn more about those, too. It can work like a positive feedback loop, comparable to putting experiences and insights on a pinboard with thumbtacks. We use other ideas and perspectives, see connections, and develop our own, unique points of view.
