My Newest Life Lesson

I used to think that there were others who had a different talent than I did and could do some things that I couldn’t.  I’m now beginning to believe that I was wrong.  I am now beginning to believe that it is only a matter of two things which allows others to accomplish things that some can’t.  Those two things are desire and interest with interest carrying an additional second phase.

I am now beginning to believe that the only difference between those who can and those who can’t is desire.  Desire is the lacking and wanting to learn what others are doing to achieve a goal which has thus far proven to be somewhat elusive to you.  If you have a desire to learn then you can learn anything from anyone at any time.  If you do not have the desire to learn then you may never reach that pinnacle. 

If you do find yourself with the desire to learn once that is accomplish you must then develop interest.  If you have no interest in that particular subject then your desire may be wasted.  If you have the desire and a slight interest, there is nothing I do not believe you cannot achieve but now the question becomes if you will ever be any good at what you have just learned or not and this is where the second phase on interest comes in.


The second phase of interest is all about the degree of interest.  If you are slightly interested in something, you may stick around long enough to learn just enough to be dangerous but not lethal.  You may learn enough to get the job done but never become proficient.  If you find yourself very interested in it then even the sky may not be your limit.  If you are really interested in something you can achieve great things with that interest.  Know now that it has been and never will be about one person better than another, it is and always will be the desire and degree on interest that separates us.
