2、estions.The questions themselves werent worrying me.I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering(烦恼)me was whether or not I would know the answers.In the age of the smartphone,this may seem like a silly worry.The answers to almost everything would be just

3、 one Google away.Still,I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother.Then one day,it struck me:I didnt need to have all the answers.What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I,too,was still learning.And I realized how much more I could learn if I t

4、ook another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child.My little girls mind is a beginners mind-curious,open to new ideas,eager to learn,and not based on knowledge that already exists.I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginners mind,too.On

5、ce I decided to become more curious,I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace,too.It seems that leaders dont need to have all the answers,but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity,I searched for answers and found Albert Einsteins famous words,“I have

10、e reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didnt want the fruit.They thought the fact that the apples were being whole,rather than sliced(切片的),was doing the fruit no favor.And they wanted to prove this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption(消费)ju

11、mped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced.They then made a follow-up study at six other schools,which not only showed the same result,but further supported.The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.Based on these result

12、s,it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us.Sliced apples just make more sense for kids.The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit,and thats exactly why sliced apples are the way to go.A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin,eat around the core(果
