One of the most well-known paragraphs in the school curriculum was 'My Hobby'. Besides, essays on 'favorite hobby' had to be written as well. We have all memorized those paragraphs or essays for the purpose of good result correctly in the exam. I would describe different hobbies there. Some of our favorite hobbies were reading books, gardening, collecting stamps. Our examination books were filled with details of all kinds of hobbies.
But just as many people who write about the purpose of life as a doctor or engineer in the exam book do not become a doctor or engineer in the end, most of the hobbies written in the exam book do not become our real life hobby. Moreover, in childhood, adolescence and even youth, many continue to practice various hobbies, but after entering the career, most of the hobbies are lost from life. Where life is on the lips under the pressure of nine or five tasks, giving time behind hobbies seems to be a bit of a luxury.
Having a hobby after nine or five jobs is considered a luxury.
Why are working people so reluctant towards hobbies?:
The main reason for this is that fancy work is not financial, that is, there is no possibility of cash from there. If a job does not fill your pockets, then what is the benefit of working - this is the opinion of many. Moreover, in our society, hobby work is not viewed in a very positive light. Someone is doing something just for fun, as if no one can tolerate it. He is repeatedly questioned, why are you wasting time in this work, why not use this time for something else? In short, earning money becomes the main thing after entering the career. The hunger of the mind becomes secondary to the hunger of the stomach and pockets.
As a result, the scope of fancy activities of working people is getting narrower at present. After returning home from work all day and taking care of household chores, watching some meaningless programs on TV, scrolling through Facebook newsfeed with mobile in hand, or chatting with someone on Messenger or WhatsApp till late at night, their daily activities are limited to that. In addition to this, sometimes it is a hobby to give 'treats' to friends or colleagues in a good restaurant, go to a group to watch a movie that is very hype, or go shopping occasionally. Apart from this, working people can't think of any other fancy job.
Now the question is, has the hobby that was once considered to be worth eighty rupees become so cheap and unnecessary today? After entering the career, people really do not need to do any fancy work?
No. Hobby can never be cheap. Hobby needs are never fulfilled in human life. Rather it is very necessary to have at least one hobby in every human life. Why I am talking about this, I will present the arguments one by one.
Every human being must have at least one hobby in his life
To improve performance in the workplace:
You need more than luck to succeed in affiliate business. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. But the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology conducted research on 400 employees and found such results. They have divided employees into two separate groups based on the question of who is involved in creative hobbies outside of their careers and who is not. And it has been seen that the employees who have creative hobbies are doing a good job in various projects of the office and are fulfilling the responsibilities assigned to them with more success. Moreover, such employees are more satisfied with their work, and have less complaints about their work.
To improve the physical condition:
If bodybuilding is a hobby, then there is no doubt that it will improve one's health. But if the hobby is not physiological, then there is a possibility of physical improvement. In a study of about 1,400 people, psychologists found that most of those involved in leisure activities had satisfactory blood pressure, cortisol, waist circumference, and body height-to-weight ratio. So if after working all day someone comes home and reads books, watches movies or plays the guitar without any movement, still their body will be good, if they do the work they get peace of mind.
To reduce stress and fatigue:
A study by Matthew Javazzki, a mental health expert at the University of California, Berkeley, found that engaging in a fun activity reduces stress, fatigue and anxiety. The study found that if someone does something they love during leisure time, their mental anxiety immediately decreases, and they gain various emotional benefits. For example: concentration increases, peace of mind comes, negative thoughts go away. And these benefits last a long time. After several hours of doing the work of love, even if the field of someone has passed a few days, the feeling of love prevails in his mind.
In increasing confidence:
There are two types of human work. He does one kind of work of his own choice and pleasure, and one kind of work he does not forced in spite of the will. The work done in the workplace is mainly second class. Because nowadays very few people get the opportunity to turn their addiction into a profession. And even if someone does get it, at some point he gets tired of doing the work of his choice out of a sense of duty. And a bigger problem than fatigue can be a lack of confidence.Hobby can bring peace of mind
When a person does something to please others, not himself, he can sometimes fail, and when the scale of failure becomes heavy, he loses faith in himself. His doubts about himself are created, he feels insignificant and incompetent. In such a situation, his hobby can restore his confidence. Since there is no extra pressure on the hobby work, it can be done only on one's own pleasure, so he can do the work with confidence and also get the desired success. This success of the hobby can make him realize that he is not really incapable, he can do whatever he wants. By applying this regained confidence in the workplace, he can achieve the desired goal at some point.
To be self-motivated in the workplace:
There is a need to show more enthusiasm in the workplace, to do various things on one's own initiative, etc. Because it can catch the eye of the boss, the possibility of promotion is accelerated. But there is so much internal politics going on in the workplace that it is difficult to show more enthusiasm in one's work just for promotion. But those who have different hobbies, they continue to try to do well in the workplace for the sake of that hobby. For example, someone may have a hobby of travel, and for that he needs a large sum of money.
His current salary makes it difficult for him to cover his daily expenses and save for travel. As a result, it is necessary to increase the amount of salary before that, and therefore need promotion in the workplace. And to get promoted you need to work with all your might. So the intense desire to travel will motivate him to do well at work even if he endures everything. That is, an external dream is needed to do well in the workplace, and a hobby can supply that dream.
Hobby work can also be beneficial at work
Get a good job:
Yes, there are improvements in the workplace, even a hobby that can help you get a good workplace. Take the example of Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He thinks that a hobby shows the mentality of a person and how dedicated he can be to his work. So a common question for job seekers on Facebook is, what is your hobby? Those whose hobbies and the content behind them can satisfy the bosses of Facebook, they go a long way in the fight to get a job. This method is also used in hiring people in more reputed companies around the world. Then you understand, having a good hobby is also a great qualification.
Go back to work:
Getting qualified to enter the workplace and showing good performance there as well as going back to the workplace is a hobby. It is normal to be physically and mentally devastated by nine or five jobs. There is enough stress on my mind to go back to the same job the next day. Today, you may be very annoyed with the files in the office all day, and that annoyance is still haunting you when you get home.
When you think that you will have to go to the office tomorrow and do just such an annoying thing, then naturally you will become mentally weak and start hating your own work. But such a situation will not happen if you spend your leisure time back home doing something enjoyable. You will definitely enjoy your hobby work, and in doing that you will forget the fatigue of the whole day and become strong again. As a result, you will be able to return to work the next day, not just mentally weak, but lively.
To sharpen the character and personality:
There is a saying in English, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." That is, if someone just works all day, does not do any sport (or any other pleasurable work), he will become bored. He himself will be annoyed, as well as others will be annoyed. So in order to enjoy life on one's own, and to present oneself as an attractive personality to others, one needs to do something other than work. The other thing is a hobby. This will remove the thought of work from his head, and any other thought will enter.
The person who just works all day, the thoughts of work keep revolving in his mind, and those thoughts also manifest in his speech. As a result, no one feels comfortable talking to him. But if he is engaged in any other recreational activity outside of work, his world of thought must be broadened, his character and personality sharpened, and his proximity to others enjoyed.
Everyone who enjoys the company of fancy people
In increasing socialization:
People involved in similar activities want to form a circle or group among themselves, so that they can talk to each other about the topics of their choice, exchange different ideas and perspectives. Physically, but also for the benefit of the Internet, the spread of such circles has increased. People who like to read books can connect with book lovers in any part of the world through any group they want. The same applies to any hobby.
Being interested in the same subject, he can easily build intimacy with the people of that group, increase socialization. So, if someone has a hobby outside of their career, no matter how introverted they may be, in reality or through the internet, they will be able to find and communicate with like-minded people.
To know yourself:
At some point in life it becomes really difficult to know yourself. After entering the career, there is endless pressure of work, besides, after getting married and starting a family, a thousand worldly thoughts also come to mind. While engaging in all these thoughts and activities, at some point man begins to lose his true nature. As he fights for his life, he forgets who he is and what his purpose is. As a result, the dreamers of childhood, adolescence and youth become self-absorbed by surrendering themselves to the time in youth and middle age.
Life can be relaxed in the evening, but by then it is too late. You have to look back and realize that a lot of time has passed, but life has not been enjoyed as it is. After such realization, there is nothing to do but regret. But a person can retain his individuality without completely losing his single existence even after entering into action and worldly life, if he has a hobby, and he gives himself some time for that hobby at least for some time every day.
It is possible to maintain individuality only through hobbies;
Last word
Hobby should never be underestimated. What a person does as a hobby becomes an indicator of his personality. A person who has no hobby in his life other than his profession, he cannot really enjoy his life in the true sense. So every human being should practice at least one hobby in life. However, some hobbies are certainly better than other hobbies.
