I never knew I was interested in business...

Not in high school, nor college.  It was only after being out of college for a couple of years, and finding some success with selling on ebay, that I became interested in marketing.

Somewhere around the same time period, I realized that business news is interesting to me. More interesting than to the average person.

I read a couple of books about economics, which I really enjoyed and now I am on a roll to learn as much as possible.  And not just about business and economics and marketing, but I also want to learn more history.  It seems like in school I learned only, maybe 0.00001% of all of the history there is to learn and this is a disappointment to me, because history is so interlinked with our present time.

I like to spot trends and discover how human nature and business cycles and politics and everything else works.  I'll try to document a bit of my learning process here.
