About This Quote

If you want to learn about the world around you, you must first start to think like a scientist. You must become a mind explorer, an explorer of the world. You have to explore every new thing that you see and imagine that it is alive. After all, everything around you is alive and it is up to you to discover what makes each thing so unique.

When you observe something for a long time, eventually, you will begin to notice patterns and connections among the things in your world. You will begin to see how everything fits together and how it might have been created. In addition to all this, do not be afraid of making mistakes when exploring the world around you. Be bold! Mistakes are a necessary part of the learning process because they give us a chance to learn from our mistakes and use that knowledge in future situations.
