and skills. If you are interested in anything then motivation comes automatically. On your own you will put extra
time and efforts to complete an assigned task. Learning what you enjoy will help you develop your skills in it
so that you can pursue it as a career in future. You may be good at playing guitar so give more time to it, enjoy
exploring it and may pursue it as a career in future.
