For years I have noticed that one common characteristic (特征) that successful people have is curiosity (好奇心). Why is curiosity important? Because it provides you with a fresh perspective (视角) and fresh ideas, Curious people can see things that many other people can’t. So how can you develop curiosity? Here are some tips that you can follow.
Expect things to be fun.
Instead of expecting things to be boring, expect then to be fun. This small change in your thinking can make a big difference. Once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of almost everything. And also, more doors of chances will be open for you.
Always have questions in your mind.
Whenever you deal with a topic, have questions in your mind. Find the answers and ask new questions. Questions keep your mind busy. They can change your learning process from being borng to being interesting.
Take on a new challenge.
By taking on a new challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (or perhaps to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is to create a competition with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.
Connect new things with what you’ve already known.
Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning with what you’ve already know. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new things that you haven’t noticed before.
Add variety (多样性) to your life.
Find new possibilities by stepping into new topics. Read books in new fields. Meet people from all walks of life.
All the advice above can be summarized (概括) in just one phrase make things fun.

What time of day do you feel most alert (清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal (华尔街日报).
When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.
But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.
Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it s better to exercise later in the day.
Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted. This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.
Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

A.they can’t get up very early
