For your consideration:
Cynicism = Don’t know + don’t care + not believing it
Curiosity = Don’t know much about it + interested in knowing more
Skepticism = Know a little already + convince me + gonna ask critical questions
Skeptiosity = Curiosity + Skepticism
Cynicism blocks learning.
Curiosity invites learning.
Skepticism calibrates learning.
Skeptiosity accelerates learning.
SKEPTIOSITY RULES!

Nelson Coulter
Nelson Coulter has held a lot of titles: rancher, educator, author, musician, entrepreneur, coach, mentor, consultant, and professor. He has coached, taught, and been published in many settings. He has served in public schools of all shapes, sizes, and contexts. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Professional Practice at Louisiana State University - Shreveport. His most cherished titles, however, are the ones not attached to career identity: son, husband, dad, and granddad.
