We'll examine how two major factors erode our curiosity: the numbing routine of daily life and the fear of judgment in social interactions. Wesley shares his month-long experiment of living like his seven-year-old self, which transformed not just individual interactions but his entire worldview - from striking up conversations with strangers to rediscovering his fascination with constellations. Wesley Ng is an incoming undergraduate and current national serviceman who works extensively with children in multiple roles. As a Global Community Builder and student volunteer at Junior Achievement Singapore, he teaches financial literacy to children, while also leading Cake From The Hearts—a non-profit organization he founded to celebrate the birthdays of underprivileged children.Through these experiences, Wesley has observed firsthand the natural curiosity, creativity, and fearlessness that children possess—qualities that adults often lose as they age. His mission is to help others recognize and reclaim these valuable childhood traits, applying them to overcome modern adult challenges and rediscover the things that made life extraordinary.
