10. I am curious about everything. I read whatever I can get my hands on: scientific journals, philosophy, studies on ocean currents, glass-making techniques, shipbuilding manuals, works of history. I never formally studied engineering, but I drew on my depth of knowledge of many diverse subjects to invent such things as lightening rods, anti-counterfeiting techniques, swim fins, bifocals, and a stove.
