Pursuing New Interests
Posted by equiPrime on September 19, 2008
Every six months or so I seem to go through this time of restlessness. Whatever I’ve been doing for the past six months just doesn’t seem that interesting to me anymore but I haven’t quite yet figured out what the new thing is that I want to be doing. I hate the way that this time period feels but at the same time it always makes me a little bit excited because I know that the next new interest I’m going to pursue must be right around the corner.
I love pursuing new interests and they’re always from different industries or fields or parts of the world. One year its cost seg engineering and the idea of net present value. The next year it’s 1920’s history in San Francisco and the people who really made the city what it was.
As you can obviously tell, I know a little bit about a whole lot of different things. I never really pursue any interest long enough to become an “expert” at it but I do a lot of research while I’m interested in something. I’m in one of those in between times right now so I just have to wait and see what catches my fancy yet.

I am exactly the same way. Sometimes people have accused me of being fickle or as though I am simply unable to commit to anything. But I know that is not really it at all, I am just curious about a lot of things!
