For it to be effective, curiosity has to be harnessed to at least two other key traits. First, the ability to pay attention to the answers to your questions— you have to actually absorb whatever it is you’re being curious about. Second is the ability to act.

Human relationships are rich and they’re messy and they’re demanding. And we clean them up with technology. And when we do, one of the things that can happen is that we sacrifice conversation for mere connection.We short-change ourselves. And over time, we seem to forget this, or we seem to stop caring.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles todayTo-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and worstTimes still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,And, while ye may, go marry:For having lost but once your prime,You may forever tarry.
Robert Herrick To The Virgins, to Make Much of Time, 1648
