We
have all been in the position of feeling uninterested with certain elements of
our lives. That is to be excepted as life is not filled with everything we
desire. Yet there are some who exceed the “normal” amount of disinterest. I
would like to divide apathetic people into two groups: the achievers and the
quitters.
Quitters are those who might have
low skill or ability in a particular task and ultimately just give up on the
task at hand. They quit when the challenge at hand is just that, a challenge,
and is not easy to achieve. Unfortunately, they may not see the benefit in overcoming
their limitations and experiencing the journey. Quitters should be pushed into
new situations so they can become more comfortable with their abilities and the
rewards of challenging oneself.
Achievers are a different story.
Apathetic achievers have an above average talent but do not use it effectively.
They can easily overcome obstacles, yet they find the effort a waste of time. I
don’t think this is their fault as I myself was placed in this position. They
breeze through most things because everything comes easily to them, everything
clicks. To push them out of their apathy, apathetic achievers also should be challenged
with new things. That way, when they enter the real world they are prepared to
face new problems. Ultimately, apathy can be pushed through with experiencing
new things and the challenges that accompany them.
