An interest is something we like; ability on the other hand, is a skill within us, which will
enable us to do something very well. Sometimes interests may not match abilities. In those
cases, we can either improve our abilities or follow some other path. For example, we may
like cricket (interest) but we may not be able to play due to the necessary power or skill
(ability) required to play the game. In that case, it is not necessary to try to become a cricketer!
