Curiosity is the one thing I have already learned to rely on and use in my favor...

It is how we get into trouble - and how we get out.

Someday, I might find a good way to use your talents.

This is right. One day, I will be able to "employ them" in some way. I already have a couple I am grooming in various ways (with their knowledge) to have some skills I think will complement what they hold now, so they can be supercharged in a few years - I get paid to do this, why wouldn't I do it for my friends for free?
