Hobbies

      A hobby is something that pleases us and helps us to pass our time. Our favorite outside our usual work is our hobby. When we have done our daily work, we feel tired. It is then that we take up our hobby. We like to take it to refresh our mind. Gardening, photography, painting, stamp collecting, wood work are some of our expensive, some easy and some hard, but all are beneficial in one way or the other. Gardening is rather a hard work. But if you are a busy official and gardening is your hobby, it is change of work for you. And the change of work is work’s sufficient care.

    We should all have our hobbies. A hobby takes us out of our fixed duties. It enlarges our experiences and broadens our outlook. It interests us. It catches our attention, and thus it makes us forget our routine work and worries. It thus gives us mental satisfaction and rest. It pleases us and the pleasure that we get from it, gives us mental and physical relaxation. A hobby enables us to recover from the stresses and strains of our routine work. It fills us with energy and vigor, and hence we feel refreshed and strong. We can always work better and rest better if we have good hobbies of our own.

    Winston Churchill’s hobby was landscape-panting. During the Second World War, he was the prime minister of England. He was one of the busiest men of his time. Yet he found out some time to follow his hobby. That kept him fit for his great duties. A man without a hobby does not know what to do with his time. He continues to be bores and tires. He gets fed up with life. Such a man ends up as a bad man and worse worker.
