It seem to me that being motivated is a more important traits for success than simply having aptitude. I know people that run successful businesses that don't seem to be very bright and others who are that would rather play video games all night and sleep all day. Sometimes I wonder if there are too many distractions in the modern world to pull our focus. I am, unfortunately, highly interested in too many fields.
I'm also interested in way too much fields and read a lot on what interest me. Not really study, like you. It's a bit annoying because I can get frustrated that there is only so much time, and I need to constantly find the balance between it all. Some friends complain about this lack of interest - in them, that is.
I agree, there's way too many distractions in the world. And way too much options. Even high school kids have a difficult time to keep up with all their hobbies, sports, guitar lessons and such. Some actually experience stress. And that I think is way too young.
I have and do study them extensively but I wish I would have had a single laser focus on just one for my life so instead of being good in multiple fields I could be the leader of one field, perhaps even changing the world instead of being just a cog in the machine.
