Diane Sawyer: Curiosity Drives Everything

I saw the most wonderful show about Diane Sawyer the other night. It was actually Diane Sawyer talking about her life and career on the new Oprah Winfrey network. Just Diane talking straight into the camera. Not only is she attractive, but eloquent and also wonderful. She radiates that she is a great person. Very genuine. She comes across as someone you would really like to meet.

She said a few things I could identify with, One is that curiosity drives her and has led to her success. Curiosity has led to her doing some great stories and keeping her on track in her career. Curiosity has also been my driving force as a journalist. You just have to find out about something and write that story. She also said that so many times she felt like quitting her career, but then she would get involved in a story, and then get interested, and she was hooked once more. Again, that strikes home!

Curiosity has really been my engine. I can't imagine not being curious about people, and the world and everything in it.
