Sometimes it’s hard to remember that everyone has different interests from you.  For instance, take my situation.  I love spending time with my horse, horseback riding, hanging out and working at the barn, etc.  My sister, on the other hand, is much more sophisticated and urban.

My sister surprised me this past year by taking up an interest in golf.  She took classes from a golf school and everything.  She did this not because she wanted a golf career, but because she was hoping it would help her in her own job as a business banker — I guess a lot of deals are finalized on the golf course, and she kind of has to play golf with her coworkers to be taken seriously at work.

It shows how different we are from one another — and we’re even more similar to each other than we are to most people!  I would never pursue golf instruction for a job, for one thing — I’m not a big fan of golf myself, and I wouldn’t let a job dictate to me what my hobbies should be.  But for my sister, it’s all tied up in her chances for success — and she’s a very driven person!
