An interest is the feeling of a person whose attention, concern, or curiosity is particularly engaged by something, or
Something that concerns, involves, draws the attention of, or arouses the curiosity of a person.
Basically, an interest is something one likes to do or something that one has a feeling for.
For example, she has an interest in poetry, or he is interested in watching the game.
A hobby is something one likes to do in his past time, a spare-time recreational pursuit. It is an action, something one does.
Usually, hobbies need devotion; it is something that has to be done systematically.
For example, stamp collection or playing an instrument.
Interest has a broad scope which includes hobbies.
If one has an interest, they may or may not develop it into a hobby.
If someone is somewhat interested in something, he may not pursue it actively.
For example, he is interested in sky diving, but he hasn’t gone even once.
On the other hand, one will only pursue a hobby if he is interested in it.
For example, she is interested in classic literature, her hobby is to collect and read old books, or, he is interested in birds, his hobby is bird watching.
Most of us(some time or other) do have sleepless nights worrying about something that had happened in the past and allow it to dictate our future holding on negative experience/pain rather than moving towards positives.
Terrible first impression
Inappropriate decisions like shutting off business
Major deaths /accident in close family -When we hold on to that pain, we can't move on to something more positive.
It's important to let it go and leave the past behind as is the classical example of Smt Draupadi Murmu , Honourable President of India

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Leaders are often faced with ethical conundrums(a confusing and difficult problem or question). So how can they determine when they’re inching toward dangerous territory? There are three main psychological dynamics that lead to crossing moral lines.
There’s omnipotence: when someone feels so aggrandized and entitled that they believe the rules of decent behavior don’t apply to them.
Consider cultural numbness: when others play along and gradually begin to accept and embody deviant norms.
Finally, when people don’t speak up because they are thinking of more immediate rewards, we see justified neglect.
Generally most people mean well, but simply execute their job poorly sometimes and sometimes, there are BAD bosses. We must learn “to Work "on Bad Boss
According to dictionary.com, “to work” something or someone is to put them into effective operation, to operate that thing or person for productive purposes.
Put your Bad Boss into effective operation to get whatever you want in your job or career by learning your boss’s secret desire and secret fear
Two biggest issues of Bad Boss are:
They can negatively impact our work performance.
They can make life miserable
We often hear “being difficult.” about Bad Boss. It’s hard to know exactly where the difficulty lie. All we know is it is difficult to work successfully with this person.
An incompetent person is someone who is
Functionally inadequate or
Insufficient in Knowledge, Skills, Judgment, or Strength
Mindset is a mental attitude that determines how we interpret and respond to situations.
Dweck has found that it is your mindset that plays a significant role in determining achievement and success.
A mindset refers to whether you believe qualities such as intelligence and talent are fixed or changeable traits.
People with a fixed mindset believe that these qualities are inborn, fixed, and unchangeable.
Those with a growth mindset, on the other hand, believe that these abilities can be developed and strengthened by way of commitment and hard work.
Story of Katalin Karikó, a researcher who won the Nobel prize for medicine for her work on modifying the RNA molecule to avoid triggering a harmful immune response is a classical example of mindset.
Yet, her life was full of rejection and doubt.
Her achievement had much to do with her mindset.
A theory is a based upon a hypothesis and backed by evidence.
A theory presents a concept or idea that is testable.
In science, a theory is not merely a guess.
A theory is a fact-based framework for describing a phenomenon.
In psychology, theories are used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Hence study of Psychology theory is essential for SSB and all types of Interviewas it helps us to understand our own developmental psychology.k
Personality theorists should study normal individuals
All behavior is interactive
The person must be studied in terms of interactions with their environment
The brain is the locus of personality
There is a biological basis to personality

Plan for future goals.
” Emotions are complex psychological states involving three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response”
"Discovering Psychology," by Don Hockenbury and Sandra E. Hockenbury
In 1972, psychologist Paul Ekman suggested that there are six basic emotions that are universal throughout human cultures: fear, disgust, anger, surprise, joy, and sadness.
In the 1980s, Robert Plutchik introduced another emotion classification system known as the wheel of emotions. This model demonstrated how different emotions can be combined or mixed together, much like the way an artist mixes primary colors to create other colors.
Plutchik proposed eight primary emotional dimensions: joy vs. sadness, anger vs. fear, trust vs. disgust, and surprise vs. anticipation.
These emotions can then be combined to create others, such as happiness + anticipation = excitement.
In 1999, Ekman expanded his list to include a number of other basic emotions, including embarrassment, excitement, contempt, shame, pride, satisfaction, and amusement
Anger is an intense emotion you feel when
Something has gone wrong or
Someone has wronged you.
It is typically characterized by feelings of
Stress,
Frustration, and
Irritation.
Anger is a perfectly normal response to frustrating or difficult situations.
Anger only becomes a problem when
It’s excessively displayed and
Begins to affect your daily functioning and the way you relate with people.
Anger can range in intensity, from a slight annoyance to rage.
It can sometimes be excessive or irrational.
In these cases, it can be hard to keep the emotion in check and could cause you to behave in ways you wouldn’t otherwise behave.
Cognitive distortions are
Negative or irrational patterns of thinking.
Simply ways that Impostor Syndrome convinces us to believe things that aren’t really true.
Inaccurate thought patterns that
Reinforce our negative self perception and
Keep us feeling bad about ourselves
These negative thought patterns can play a role in
Diminishing our motivation,
Lowering our self-esteem
Contributing to problems like
Anxiety,
Depression, and
Substance use.
Trauma Bonding is the attachment an abused person feels for their abuser, specifically in a relationship with a cyclical pattern of abuse.

Most common in married relationships,
Mental or emotional abuse can occur in any relationship—including among
Friends
Family members and
Co-workers
Attachment-related patterns that differ between individuals are commonly called "attachment styles."
There seems to be an association between a person’s attachment characteristics early in life and in adulthood, but the correlations are far from perfect.
Many adults feel secure in their relationships and comfortable depending on others (echoing “secure” attachment in children).
Others tend to feel anxious about their connection with close others—or prefer to avoid getting close to them in the first place (echoing “insecure” attachment in children).
Borderline personality disorder, characterized by a longing for intimacy and a hypersensitivity to rejection, have shown a high prevalence and severity of insecure attachment.
Attachment styles in adulthood (similar to attachment patterns in children):
Secure
Anxious-preoccupied (high anxiety, low avoidance)
Dismissing-avoidant (low anxiety, high avoidance)
Fearful-avoidant (high anxiety, high avoidance)
Conduct disorder is an ongoing pattern of behaviour marked by emotional and behavioural problems.
Ways in which Children with conduct disorder behave are
Angry,
Aggressive,
Argumentative, and
Disruptive ways.
It is a diagnosable mental health condition that is characterized by patterns of violating
Societal norms and
Rights of others
It's estimated that around 3% of school-aged children have conduct disorder and require professional treatment .
It is more common in boys than in girls.
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric disorder that typically emerges in childhood, between ages 6 and 8, and can last throughout adulthood.
ODD is more than just normal childhood tantrums
Frequency and severity of ODD causes difficulty at home and at school.
Children with ODD also struggle with learning problems related to their behavior.
Two types of oppositional defiant disorder:
Childhood-onset ODD:
Present from an early age
Requires early intervention and treatment to prevent it from progressing into a more serious conduct disorder
Adolescent-onset ODD:
Begins suddenly in the middle- and high-school years, causing conflict at home and in school
There have been at least 13 different types of intelligence that have been identified so far.
These different ways of being smart can help people perform in different areas from their personal life, business, to sports and relationships.
Attachment is an emotional bond with another person. John Bowlby described attachment as a "lasting psychological connectedness between human beings.“
Earliest bonds formed by children (with caregivers) have a tremendous impact that continues throughout life and Attachment so developed
Serves to keep the infant close to the mother, thus improving the child's chances of survival.
Are innate drive Children are born with and is a product of evolutionary processes
Emerges and are regulated through the process of natural selection,
Are characterized by clear behavioural and motivation patterns.
Nurturance and responsiveness were the primary determinants of attachment.
Children who maintained proximity to an attachment figure were more likely to
Receive comfort and protection, and
More likely to survive to adulthood.

The term ‘Moonlighting’ became popular in America when people started working a second job in addition to their regular 9-to-5 jobs. Since the rise of the work-from-home concept during the pandemic, employees got free time after work hours. While some took up their hobby in their free time, others started searching for part-time jobs. Especially in the IT industry, employees took up two jobs simultaneously and took advantage of the remote working model. This concept of working for two companies/organisations is referred to as moonlighting.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

2. Introduction
According to Dictionary.com,
An interest is the feeling of a person whose attention, concern, or
curiosity is particularly engaged by something, or
Something that concerns, involves, draws the attention of, or
arouses the curiosity of a person.
Basically, an interest is something one likes to do or something that one
has a feeling for.
For example, she has an interest in poetry, or he is interested in
watching the game.
A hobby is something one likes to do in his past time, a spare-time
recreational pursuit. It is an action, something one does.
Usually, hobbies need devotion; it is something that has to be done
systematically.
For example, stamp collection or playing an instrument.
Interest has a broad scope which includes hobbies.
If one has an interest, they may or may not develop it into a hobby.
If someone is somewhat interested in something, he may not pursue it
actively.
3. A hobby is a regular activity that is done for pleasure, typically during
one's leisure time.
Hobbies can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in
creative and artistic pursuits, playing sports, or pursuing other
amusements.
By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire
substantial skill and knowledge in that area.
Generally speaking, a person who engages in an activity solely for fun is
called a 'hobbyist', whereas a 'professional' generally engages in an
activity for reward and an 'amateur' (from French for "lover of") does so
out of personal interest in an activity.
While an amateur may be as skilled as a professional, a professional
receives compensation while an amateur generally does not.
4. Etymology
In the 13th century, the term "hobyn" had the meaning of "small horse or
pony".
The term "hobbyhorse" was documented in a 1557 payment confirmation
for a "Hobbyhorse" from Reading, England.
The item, originally called a "Tourney Horse", was made of a wooden
or basketwork frame with an artificial tail and head.
Designed to mimic a real horse, the hobbyhorse was used
for religious activities and civic occasions.
In the 17th century, the term was used in a pejorative sense due to
the childish origins of the term.
Referring to the origin of the word, engaging in one's hobby equated
to the horse outfit from the term's formulation and was considered a
puerile overindulgence that would yield no benefit.
By 1816 the derivative, "hobby", was introduced into the vocabulary of
an unknown number of English people.
Over the course of subsequent centuries, the term came to
mean "recreational" or "leisurely pursuit“.
5. Etymology…..
A hobby is also called a pastime, derived from the use of hobbies to pass
the time, though it may also refer to other activities (for example, baseball
is often said to be America's favorite or national pastime).
Hobbies are practiced primarily for interest and enjoyment, rather than
financial reward.
In the 21st century, personal fulfillment is the aim of hobbies in First World
Western nations and they are widely considered to be helpful in such
societies.
Although, in the United Kingdom (UK), the pejorative noun "anorak",
similar to the Japanese word "otaku", has the meaning of being a geek or
enthusiast, and is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a
particular hobby that others consider boring.
Development into other ventures
There have been instances where hobbies have led to significant
developments beyond the personal fulfillment for those involved.
Amateur astronomers have made significant contributions to the
profession, and hobbyists have made discoveries such as finding an
unknown celestial body or celestial event.
In the area of computer programming, the invention of the Linux kernel
6. Etymology
Hobbies have also risen to prominence after a period of relatively low
interest.
For example, a British conservationist was seen wearing field glasses at a
London train station in the 1930s and was consequently asked if he was
going to the horse races.
Whilst the general public was not aware of nature observation which was
formally conducted as field research, during the 1930s, practitioners of
the hobby went on to become the pioneers of the conservation
movement that flourished in the UK from 1965 onwards.
Eventually, it became a global political movement within a generation's
time span.
The hobby of collecting includes seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing,
cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining whatever items are of interest
to the individual collector.
Some collectors are generalists, accumulating merchandise, or stamps
from all countries of the world.
Others focus on a subtopic within their area of interest, perhaps 19th
century postage stamps, milk bottle labels from Sussex, or Mongolian
harnesses and tack.
7. Outdoor recreation
Outdoor pursuits are the group of activities which occur outdoors.
These hobbies include gardening, hill walking, hiking, backpacking,
cycling, canoeing, climbing, caving, fishing, wildlife viewing and
engaging in water sports and snow sports.
Depending on an individual's desired level of adrenaline, outdoors
experiences are considered one type of hobby.
While many enjoy an adrenaline rush or just an escape from reality,
outdoor recreational activities can also be an extremely effective
medium in education and team building.
As interest increases, so has the desire for commercial outdoor
pursuits.
Outdoor recreational supply stores have opened in large numbers and are
thriving, as have outdoor pursuit journalism and magazines, both on paper
and the Internet.
The increased accessibility of outdoor pursuit resources has been the
source of some negative publicity over the years, with complaints of
the destruction of landscape.
An example is the destruction of hillsides as footpaths are eroded due to an
8. Performing arts
Many hobbies involve performances by the hobbyist, such as
singing, acting, juggling, magic, dancing, playing a musical
instrument, martial arts and other performing arts.
Creative hobbies
Some hobbies result in an end product.
Examples of this would be woodworking, photography, moviemaking,
jewelry making, software projects such as Photoshopping and home
music or video production, making bracelets, artistic projects such
as drawing, painting, writing, etc.,
The design, creation, and wearing a costume based on an already
existing creative property - Cosplay, creating models out of card stock or
paper - called papercraft.
Hobbies also include higher-end projects like building or restoring a car,
or building a computer from scratch.
For computer savvy do-it-yourself hobbyists, CNC (Computer Numerical
Control) machining is also popular.
A CNC machine can be assembled and programmed to make different parts from
wood or metal.
9. Scale modeling/dioramas
Making a replica of a real object in a smaller scale goes back to prehistoric
times with small clay "dolls" and other children's toys having been found near
known populated areas.
The Greeks, Romans, and Persians took the form to a greater depth
during their years of world domination, using scale replicas of enemy
fortifications, coastal defense lines, and other geographic fixtures to
plan battles.
At the turn of the Industrial Age and on through the 1920s, families could
often afford things such as electric trains, wind-up toys (typically boats or
cars) and the increasingly valuable tin toy soldiers.
Model engineering refers to building functioning machinery in metal, such
as internal combustion motors and live steam models or locomotives.
This is a demanding hobby, requiring a multitude of large and expensive
tools, such as lathes and mills.
This hobby originated in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century, later
spreading and flourishing in the mid-20th century.
Due to the expense and space required, it is becoming rare.
10. Scale modeling/dioramas
Scale modeling as we know it today became popular shortly after World War
II. Before 1946, children as well as adults were content in carving and
shaping wooden replicas from block wood kits, often depicting enemy aircraft
to help with identification in case of an invasion.
With the advent of modern plastics, the amount of skill required to get the
basic shape accurately shown for any given subject was lessened, making it
easier for people of all ages to begin assembling replicas in varying scales.
Superheroes, aeroplanes, boats, cars, tanks, artillery, and even figures of
soldiers became quite popular subjects to build, paint and display.
Although almost any subject can be found in almost any scale, there are
common scales for such miniatures which remain constant today.
The most popular scales for each subject are (in order of popularity):
In addition to plastic kits, resin has become a popular material for "short run"
productions. The level of detail is often quite exquisite, and while more
expensive than the typical plastic soldier, is much easier to work with and
modify, compared to White Metal or Pewter figures.
11. Scale modeling/dioramas
The advent of small and cheap computers, sensors (often derived from the
smartphone industry), and radio equipment allowed hobbies such as Radio-
controlled aircraft, cars, and toy robots to become more popular.
Scale modeling is no longer a high growth industry as it was during the
1960s and 1970s, but there are still thousands of retail shops selling kits,
supplies, paints, and tools to support new and established hobbyists.
Digitized CAD software have also contributed to this allowing accuracy of up
to 1/1000 of an inch.
With more costly kits seeing an upward trend and youth entertainment
moving more towards computers and in-home video gaming, the average
age of the avid hobbyist is now older than ever before — with adults making
up the vast majority of enthusiasts.
At the same time, there are probably more people building from kits now
than ever, and there is a large selection of supportive magazines such as
Fine Scale Modeler, Military Miniatures in Review (MMiR) and Tamiya
Magazine from every era.
There are several modeling clubs in most cities, with the largest being
International Plastic Modellers' Society (IPMS). IPMS has support chapters
12. Cooking
Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always,
chemically transforms it, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and
nutritional properties.
It encompasses a vast range of methods and tools, and may also be used
to improve the digestibility of food.
It may require the selection, measurement and combining of ingredients in
an ordered procedure in an effort to achieve the desired result.
Constraints on success include the ambient conditions, tools and the skill
of the individual cook.
The diversity of cooking worldwide reveals the myriad of nutritional,
aesthetic, agricultural, agronomic, economic, cultural and religious
considerations that have an impact upon it.
Cooking properly, as opposed to roasting, requires the boiling of water or oil
in a receptacle, and was practiced at least since the 10th millennium BC with
the introduction of pottery.
There is archaeological evidence of roasted foodstuffs, both animal and
13. Gardening.
Residential gardening most often takes place in or about ones own
residence, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically
is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located on a roof, in
an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio or vivarium.
Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks,
public or semi-public gardens (botanical gardens or zoological gardens),
amusement and theme parks, along transportation corridors, and around
tourist attractions and hotels. In these situations, a staff of gardeners or
groundskeepers maintains the gardens.
Indoor gardening
A variety of flowers and vegetables in an indoor garden.
Indoor gardening is growing houseplants within a residence or building, in a
conservatory, or in a greenhouse.
Indoor gardens are sometimes incorporated into air conditioning or heating
systems.
Water gardening
Water gardening is growing plants that have adapted to pools and ponds.
Bog gardens are also considered a type of water garden.
