Interests and abilities are often related but distinct concepts:
1. Interests refer to what a person enjoys doing or what captures their attention. They are driven by curiosity, passion, or enjoyment in a particular activity, such as painting, reading, or playing sports.
2. Abilities, on the other hand, refer to the skills or talents that a person possesses, which enable them to perform certain tasks. Abilities are developed through practice and experience and are related to a person’s capacity to do something well, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, or technical skills.
