How do we become interested?

Linda Caldwell (Ph.D.) of Penn State University has made a career out of studying "interest formation".
Dr Caldwell's research shows that "true passion can’t be forced. You can participate in personality tests and self-reflection exercises until you drop from exhaustion, but it’s unstructured exploration coupled with aggressive follow-ups that most consistently leads people to a life-consuming interest", according to Cal Newport of Study Hacks.
I find that it is always possible to become intensely interested in the persons and areas we have been asked to manage. It appears that every person has a story or a personality trait worth both interest and admiration, we can easily find it if we explore enough and are open to see the beauty that is right before our eyes.
