This reminds me of a question I was asked a while ago, who is smarter, a taxi driver who knows every street in town or someone who learns a new language or whatever. The second, because it activates the right side of the brain. The taxi driver already knows those streets, he just remembers them.
Curiosity and learning something new were always present in me, also meditation has helped me a lot, I love to practice it, also those spaces of silence help me. As well as the diversity of people and situations.
I like the idea of going backwards!
Backwards is forwards sometimes. Something like that anyway.
Interesting point of view, I have stepped back to look at my actions and improve... I liked that point!
