The best scientists and explorers have the attributes of kids! they ask question and have a sense of wonder. they have curiosity. 'who, what, where, why, when, and how!' they never stop asking questions, and i never stop asking questions, just like a five year old.

More From Sylvia Earle

Why are there beings at all instead of nothing? that is the question. presumably it is not arbitrary question, "why are there beings at all instead of nothing"- this is obviously the first of all questions. of course it is not the first question in the chronological sense [...] and yet, we are each touched once, maybe even every now and then, by the concealed power of this question, without properly grasping what is happening to us. in great despair, for example, when all weight tends to dwindle away from things and the sense of things grows dark, the question looms.
Dark Despair Example
And one day we must ask the question, "why are there forty million poor people in america?" and when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. when you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.
America People One Day
Science is an intellectual journey, and to me, it's not the destination, it's the journeyto get there. it's a way of thinking and it's an intellectual curiosity, a desire to know how the world works, and to know what the fundamental principles of the world are, and to know our place in it. i think once we stop asking questions like "what is the age of the universe," or "how are the instructions of dna carried out on a microscopic level," once we stop asking questions like that, we're dead.
Journey Thinking Asking Questions
For me, i felt bad for people asking the questions, cause you know their boss sent them out saying, 'get me something on mission impossible.' and you ask the question, and it's just a polite, 'i'm not going to tell you.' then, every so often, they'd go, 'well, can't you just tell us a little bit?' i have to say, 'you know what guys, i'm under contract and i'm not going to tell you anything.' so you keep asking the questions and i'm just going to keep smiling. and it's hard, cause i don't want to seem rude, but it's part of my job just like it's part of their job to keep a secret.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.
