Are childhood abilities a predictor of how we choose a vocation or our interests?  Or is it an indicator of what we would be happiest doing if monetary issues were taken out of the equation?  Does nostalgia cloud it, or does environmental and genetic factors outweigh those effects for the general populace?  While there appears to be correlation for some people, while I had the precocious ability of reading by 2-3 years and memorizing books, the areas where i feel passion don't seem to be intertwined.  The majority of activities I attempted as a child I can still do at a basic level however it lacks much passion and devotion.  Other than the pure and simplistic euphoria from making m own solutions and agents as well as cooking, there is little of childhood activities that I still pursue.  The interest is still there such as animals and nature, however goals are continuously being refined.
