For me, it's learning, engaging my brain and seeing the world from a different angle. A (hopefully) interesting angle. I like knowing, even if (as the philosopher says) all I know is how much I don't know. I like trying, anyhow.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
