If not, you are missing out, says Steve Blank, serial entrepreneur and Stanford consulting associate professor. Curiosity is key if you want to succeed.
Are you curious?

I've always put a great deal of stock in both creativity and curiosity...and, as Blank says, I've always believed the most creative and innovative people have a curiosity ranging far beyond their own fields. Steve Jobs' oft publicized interest in typography, for example, gave us personal computers with beautiful fonts and a totally different publishing model. Who would have expected this from a computer, often thought of before the Apple as a glorified calculator or a giant file cabinet for storing and retrieving data? There are many other examples from inside and outside entrepreneurship, but one basic principle is this: Little innovation comes from those who lack the ability to ask "what if...?" and who stay within the confines of what is standard practice for their industry or field.
