I never had but I recently became disappointed in my own staggering lack of curiosity when I stumbled across this fascinating video explaining how the extra holes can be used to create a “lace lock” that will prevent heel blisters.
What does this video and the topic shoe-tying and shoelaces have to do with the future?
Everything.
I am convinced the future is full of extraordinary opportunities but frequently we are so focused on our day-to-day activities that we fail to become aware of these opportunities–as I was in not discovering a better method of shoe-tying until I was 37. Secondly, we often lack the humility to acknolwedge that a different or better way of doing something might exist–as I discovered at
the age of 48. And, lastly, we simply don’t stay curious enough to the opportunities all around us–as I just reminded of at the age of 50.
One great way to stay curious about the future–and the opportunity it presents–is to constantly ask new questions.
In my case, I’m now reminded of all three principles every time I tie my shoes.
In addition to providing spot-on advice and observations about the future, Jack Uldrich’s presentations are humorous, engaging and entertaining. He’s well-known for his ability to make complex information fun and easy to understand. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Jack.
