Village is sweet especially having people around you to make it fun. Everything is been provided for and we just only have to get them prepared. The Harmattan and the Cold has become something else to me. My hands are stiffed and can't even type anything due to the weather in the village. I am using my voice to type why I will do the remaining editing later. It's just two days remaining for year 2021 to get out while we welcome a beautiful and great year 2022. Have you made your plans? Have you thought of what to do and to be consistent in it? Yesterday I made my resolutions and I still have some written, so I pray to stick by them.


"One person with a belief is equal to ninety-nine who have only interests."

- John Stuart Mill

There is a substantial difference between Interest and Belief. While Interest means what you are curious to do or know, or what you are attracted to, Belief is like a mindset. Having a belief in something means having confidence in it and trying your possible best to resolve the problem. When you are interested in doing something, and it does not bring in the result you expected, there would be less urge in accomplishing the task unlike having to believe in yourself. An interest can fade at anytime when there is nothing good coming forth but when a person works with his belief, there would surely be a change, because such a person wouldn´t want to leave until arriving at a good point.

We all know there wouldn´t be any problem if there is no solution. When there is a problem, there will definitely be a solution to it.


My reasons to juxtapose Interest vs Belief goes thus;

When We Do Something With Belief, We Set In Our Mind To Do It

Have you seen a successful man without a belief? Those who succeed are the ones who believe in themselves. There is this quote by Napoleon Hills that says "what the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." No matter what you want to do, once you have the belief that something great will happen, it will, because believing is a strong intuition that can never give up except you only have the interest which will eventually make you fed up and stop halfway. Do you also know your belief in a task can make others believe too? When you give your reasons to other people and make them understand the power of belief, they will also reason that and would make the work achievable.

We Don´t Get Discouraged When Things Do Not Work Out

There is power in belief that it makes you continue even if you fail many times. Without been frustrated because nothing is showing forth, you have the belief that one day, with your consistency, there would be a solution. My laptop touchpad wasn´t working since yesterday which I knew there was a problem and I only needed to find solution to it. I did all I could do myself but nothing was happening, I left it with the aim that something can be done later. This morning, I called my sister to help me out and we both searched through Youtube and Google, trying to look for ways. I could have left the system alone and make use of my phone, but I didn´t. After several minutes, we found the solution. I was even thinking if I would spend money to repair a new system again but we tried it and it worked. I believed it would work and it did. If I had got discouraged, I wouldn´t have found a solution to it.

We Also Inspire Others With Our Belief

Let´s take for instance, You as a leader only have interest in a task and you set your team to work with you. Along the way, you aren´t seeing result, then you get frustrated and stopped the work, your team will also stop because they aren´t seeing who to motivate them. Success attracts a person and when they read about a particular person´s journey to success, they would also get inspired to do what he did. Our beliefs would inspire others and serves as a motivation to another.

Thanks for reading

Our beliefs determine whether to set out on our interests or not.

In my own understanding I think belief is when you actually understand when something is achievable and you develop interest

Interest is like a roundtrip ticket with lots of options and we usually lose interest in something when we no longer benefit from it, unlike belief that's like a one-way ticket; no matter the outcome, we always stick to our beliefs and make sure to see it through to the end

There are times when people failed to believe in themselves and that mindset failed them. So, I agree with you, successful people have belief both in themselves and in what they set out to do

They are different but seems simpler in a way, belief, what you have confidence in, some you know won't fail you, interest, something you learn or want to learn. Also, we tend to talk more about our belief when a conversation pops up than our interest, beliefs go way deeper in our mind than interest

That is it. Our beliefs will go a long way in helping us achieve our aim.

people who have interests or desires are people's ways of doing things that make them happy... while belief is the process of pursuing interests that are believed to be successful

Hmm. I also think that interest can be temporary or short lived. We can easily develop another interest with time given the circumstances. But belief is just like a fire that would keep burning in our hearts for a long time

With belief, you can focus on something till you get the result but for interest, you will keep taking your gaze away to another thing.

Our beliefs are what keeps us going and that's what makes life worth living. Living a life without believing in anything is like living a life without having anything to live(die) for, which automatically translates to a very boring life, which means isn't worth living.

Beliefs is like a power that will strengthen you. It will give you a hope. It will give you a positivity through out life. It will give you motivations to face the life. Beliefs is help you a lot and also influencing the others. It will shows you the best example to the others.

Interest is the things we aiming for that's why we should have a belief to the things we may interest since it will help you to eager to achieve it. You said it all princess. I agree with you.

Reading through your comment, it means interest and belief should work together. Having interest in something and believing in it would bring a desirable result. Thank you very much. ❤

Believing is having strong mind in something. This means when you believe, you are liable to have that which you have interest on. It means when you have interest on something and you truly believed in that thing, it will get to your reach.

This is why we must dim it fit to have strong belief ok that which we like or that whish we want to have or that which we have stingy interest on
