I'm learning how to grow bonsai trees now. While learning about it, I'm also developing a whole new appreciation for the art form. When I took my trip to China in 2002, one of the places we visited had several bonsai on display. At the time I did not have an appreciation for the art. I walked past them without a second glance. If I had the appreciation then that I do now, I'd have studied them and taken dozens of pictures.
So the challenge is to find something that you don't understand why some people love it, be it a sport, an art form, a restaurant, and try to find out what all the buzz is about. You don't have to start liking whatever it is, just try to find an appreciation for what it is.

You say the joy of new challenges is something you'd like to teach ... I'd say, it is something you DO teach. Every class I take, I find new challenges presented in a cheerfully challenging atmosphere. Keep on keepin' on.
