Some days ago I found a video hailing arrange marriage system india, which stated 95% of marriages happen in India are arranged ones and only 5% of them end up in divorce. This post is not about arrange marriages. In that particular video , protagonist said one statement “My goals are blah blah…. And eventually they evolve”. Suddenly the bold statement triggered my fickle mind to articulate many thoughts for which I was not able to find some words to express since long! I couldn’t manage to imagine before ,that even goals , interests , enthrallments , likings , and overall personas are tend to evolve with time.
Talking about Interest or goals , they certainly evolve! Again on Facebook my friend posted something like “there is nothing like interesting or something really good or bad .It’s all about amount of time which we spend on thing s we come across which eventually lead us to generate liking towards it!”.
I fully agree with statement above. Interests are actually outcomes of time spent on things. If you ask a boy who just finished his high school “what you want to be in future?” , then he may say, an astronaut , doctor or an engineer; but one should not be immature to understand the reason behind his sayings as his interest in particular field. Surely not, many times people follow trends which were set up by many like them previously. E.g. if a student gets good marks then he will end up in doing science because most of the students having good marks had already chosen science and they contributed to make this as a trend.
Anyway, Mostly people will not find what their interests are! They just face things as they move ahead in life’s voyage and found something in the middle, they spend some time on it and they start liking it, this is what they call interest. In contrast some people , especially actors, painters or sportsmen are known to have an idea of their interest since their childhood. They know what they like and they pursue their liking for a long time, that eventually become their interest.
So again it’s all about on which branch of tree ,your bloody whimsical monkey stops, how long it stays there and if at all it finds something there to eat, to look for, to be fascinated about! We humans call it as an Interest J
