Significance of Hobbies
hobby is something that one likes to do to overcome boredom in one’s spare time. 2 It is not for gain, but for pure pleasure. The Oxford Dictionary defines hobby as a favorite activity that a person does for pleasure and not as his or her regular business. Thus, whether we spend hours a day or days a month or months a year, we call any activity one like outside the work a hobby. 3 Winston Churchill once divided human beings into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. 4 In day to day work some burden their minds and others their bodies. 5 Working a few hours continuously tires a man and fatigue sets in. He should take some time off from the routine work to pursue a hobby to keep active, busy and cheerful.
