Familiarity breeds Contempt..

So what does this mean? Well try to make out on your own. Read on.

Right from the day 1 we are seeing this professor toiling hard with us to knock down some basics of finance in us. More than eight months, over 3000 powerpoint slides, a number of cases, midterms, end terms, surprise quizzes and there he was again repeating his golden words after eight months "Familiarity breeds contempt like when you come to know about something and it becomes repetitive you kind of start hating it".

Well, don't know about hating him but I have lost my interest in finance for sure. I remember that before joining IFMR which has finance as its middle name, the only specialization which I could think about was finance but then, last October everything changed (looks like a movie tagline, will come to it later) and the focus of my life is to earn a specialization in marketing (other things remaining constant).

Coming back to familiarity thing I guess we all do that in our daily lives. It do breeds contempt. After a certain period of time we start taking people for granted. even those people who are important to us and are significantly affecting our lives directly or indirectly. Sometimes you feel bad about this and sometime you just move on leaving everything on time. But equally true that we express our anger to only those whom we really love and care for. Familiarity do breeds contempt in certain cases but then it also tells you that you are someone close and hope that contempt will fall through and familiarity will be the only thing remaining .
