Thanks for the comment. It seems to be very true what you say, that people with a wide variety of interests are more happy and content. I think it's because there is so much out there to explore and each new discovery adds some excitement to one's life. The challenge, I suppose, is to maintain one's interest in learning new skills, ideas, etc. throughout the years. @Fred,

Good to hear from you! Thanks for the comment. It seems to be very true what you say, that people with a wide variety of interests are more happy and content. I think it’s because there is so much out there to explore and each new discovery adds some excitement to one’s life. The challenge, I suppose, is to maintain one’s interest in learning new skills, ideas, etc. throughout the years.

It just leaves me to think that not all of as can change the world but you can influence your own little life by just doing that little bit more than you are trained for. Small achievements in your own life is not neccesarily for the whole world to see but it gives you personal fullfilment that nobody else can force into the forming of your personality. That is why people who have wide interests in life are usually content and happy even though they have not become millionaires through specialization. Regards from the RSA! Hi Cameron,

I would like to add that I have found (in my called field to life-coaching & event planning for realtionship building) that people who have all the qualities you listed (or most of them) also demonstrate the following traights in their life as well, would love to hear who all may agree: 1. positive, persuasive optimism 2. faith 3. they are find-a-way, make-a-way people 4. not quitters 5. not borrowers or lenders as a general rule 6. balcony people 7. life of the party people 8. interesting to talk to 9. they have genuine kindness 10. patient people 11. go-getters 12. confident 13. leaders 14. innovators 15. creative minded 16. teachable 17. deep thinkers 18. quick on their feet with a thought 19. risk takers 20 they do not measure sucess with a destination, but rather; their definition of success is found within their journey!
