Why do people vary in mental capabilities? why do we have different aspirations, mental strength, attitude, intelligence, philosophy of life? what are the factors that lead to these differences? are there genetic influences? what should be the aim in life according to you, the reader?

What, is impossible to answer. But if you asked why, I'd say to keep things interesting. Think of the antithesis. Pretty boring, huh.

Everything starts off from the parents. For example intelligence cannot be measured, even by those Mensa Tests, however the intelligence can be passed on to offspring. Even then there are more "secrets to life" as dumb people can have smart children, and "pretty" couples can have children who bear none of their traits.
The main difference between people are their experiences. Every small thing, from falling down the stairs, to scalding oneself on a holt iron develops a person and it on a level determines their future selves.
I've had some bad encounters with bugs, which is why I will never have aspirations to nature or gardening.
Another reason why some people could be stronger than others, or strive to stronger is to address the peer pressure they are feeling. Or simply down to biology again.
In all people are different because of mainly life experience and biology. The rest is down to their personality. If a person is naturally shy, they will hold this the whole of their lives. They can cover it up, and reduce its effect on them, but ultimately it will be with them forever. I do not believe it is one of those things that can be said to be "inherited",

Everything.
No, seriously, everything surrounding a person makes them different from the next person. The way their parents treat them, the way everyone else treats them...those affect them the most. However, people's pasts, diets, exercise habits, genes, how messy or clean their rooms are, where they go, what they do, and everything else is what forms people.
There is also the ability to deal with everything. While this is a part of a person and how they are different, it also has to be forced to some degree.
And I think the aim in life should be to experience as much as possible, so the good makes up for the bad. 8)

These are called Individual Differences, and we all have them.
It is still the subject of much debate, but it is currently believed that these differences are caused by a combination of our genetics and our environment.
If you search for Eysenck on google, you will get some interesting information on these individual differences. Freud was also a patron of these differences.

The human strategies is an extremely complicated and dynamic component. What you're describing is adjustments in character. partly it extremely is genetic - you inherit inclinations out of your mothers and fathers - yet quite often it extremely is a end results of the stories you have accrued over the years. i became the thin, nerdy youngster anybody made exciting of, hence I found out to despise activities. My brother did rather properly at activities and likes to observe video games with no lead to sight. we are the two the made of our environments. comparable kin, different universes.

as such there is no aim of life. we set up aims according to our knowledge. best aim of life is salvation.according to jainism there are many factors that effect us. most important is the karma(charged atoms related to the soul) .karma is the reaction of our actons and follows us for many lifes till we don't know the way out.for more information-

look at the nature vs nurture debate which has been going on for years in the scientific community. the aim of life according to me is to get to know God

A combination of genetics and life experience. Nature AND nurture, not one or the other. The aim of life is to live it.

This shows God created each one in a special way, unique, a different from other because God has a purpose in everyone's life.One has to know God to know the purpose. If any one ask in the name of Jesus things will be done according to his will.
