When my children were young, it was a battle to get them to eat anything especially cooked food. They are adults now and their appetites have improved but food is not something they "love" What I have discovered is that people who do not love food are most unlikely to love to cook. People who are adventurous with cooking like the taste of food, they do not overeat but the like to taste and play with ingredients. When I go to foreign place, I like to have the culinary experience native to that environment. I am curious to know about their cuisine and share in that experience. I once traveled with my children and I almost regretted that holiday because it was to a region that their cuisine was quite different from what they were used to. At a point, I had to take them outside the hotels that the tour provided to fast food places that had the kind of cuisine they were familiar with. Just like I experienced with my children, it can be a very frustrating experience when people do not have a healthy appetite for life and they stick with only what they are familiar with. A healthy appetite for life keeps you experimenting with knowledge and looking for new ways to accomplish goals because you know there is more to life. This curiosity pushes you to discover new ideas to approach and improve life. Development is constantly improving upon the last thing you learnt, constantly expanding the horizon to see what else is there to be discovered. Do not just wonder how someone else came up with a certain idea and stop there with amazement, be determined to continue to discover ways of improving whatever you are working on, if you do not search you will not find. Don't ever be satisfied with your last achievement, there are many more ways of going beyond where you are and as you continue to inquire from life, things you did not imagine existed will begin to unfold to you. So long as you are inquisitive enough to probe, you will discover that there is no end to what the human being can achieve if they put their mind to it. So long as the level of your curiosity is high, there will always be something new to learn, you just have to have a healthy enough appetite for life. Have a great day!
