Temporary Passion

A practical after the theory sessions, to prepare ourselves for the upcoming event, cycling tour. Slopes after slopes, our stamina was proven and certain skills were obtained. Looking at the bike before we set off for another 3.5km around the lake, it seems to be more complicated than it used to be, especially the gear wheels of different sizes. Was once fascinated by different sort of 'sports' if that's how we called it, but never once take it seriously, to the point where further studies and analysis are done, like what certain people would do. Perhaps this is the so called temporary interests, which matches one of the Chinese says, "Passion that lasts only 3 minutes." Anyhow, this probably happens to some of us, where the passion is not strong enough for us to hold on. Nevertheless, we would still be able to learn from these temporary hobbies, something which we might have learned and already using it but not knowing it. The flexibility in changing gears when we are on bicycle, the strength controlling when it comes to badminton, strategy in placing and angles being used on the pool table and many more. Aren't they the skills which can be used in life too?
