“Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.”

Anthony Bourdain

Simplified Meaning:

It's important to try new things and ask questions. If we don't, we'll become stuck in old habits and stop growing. Imagine if Thomas Edison hadn't experimented with different materials while inventing the lightbulb; we might still be using candles today. In our own lives, trying new activities or learning new skills keeps us energized and sharp. For instance, if you only ever eat the same foods, you miss the chance to discover new flavors you might love. By staying curious and open-minded, we keep our minds active and avoid becoming bored and lifeless.
