The Use of Leisure
By the way in which a man uses his leisure his character can be told – more surely in all probability than by the way he does his work. For most men work is necessity in order to gain a living. Vast numbers of men have not even been able to choose what work they would do, but have been forced by economic necessity to take the first job that came their way. But in their leisure time they do what they really want to do and their real selves are reflected in their actions.
Some people are completely passive during leisure hours. If such people go out they go to some place f entertainment where no effort is required by them, a cinema or a dancing hall, and if the latter, they do not dance but simply sit and watch others dancing.
A different kind of person hurries home from work full of eagerness to begin on some scheme which he has been planning for his leisure time. Perhaps his hobby is carpentry or model engineering, or gardening, or he might wish to write, or to study some subjects in which he is interested. This is the creative type of character. For him his leisure hours are full of promise and he can look back on them ith satisfaction when he reviews what he has achieved in them.
Leisure should be refreshment; it should send a man out with fresh spirits to battle with the problems of life. Sometimes this freshness comes not from doing anything, but by filling one’s mind with fresh springs of beauty. Many a man gets full value from his leisure by contemplating nature, listening to music, or reading noble books. By this sort of occupation he may not have made anything that he can show, but he has none the less recreated his own source of inspiration and made his own mind a richer and fuller treasure house. This is the true use of leisure.

There is nothing more exciting than plunging into the world invented by another person. I like to imagine myself as a participant in the described story, trying on costumes from different epochs. I like to think out the plot, introducing my lines into it. On long evenings or right before the sleeping, in bed, I like to reflect on the ideas and problems of this or that work and be sad when everything ends. |

Drawing and painting |

I always envied people who can embody the images that they have in their heads on paper. It doesn’t matter how: whether the result is a realistic or abstract picture, whether it is a new word in art or whether it was already in someone’s work – it is always a miracle. The miracle of how using a piece of paper and a pencil stub can create a masterpiece that makes you stop and wonder at the beauty of life. I am not able to do such a thing! |
D |
Playing computer games |
5 |
Some may say that this is not a real hobby. They say, sitting for days at a computer, forgetting about the world around us, is a dependency, which should be treated. Reading books is believed to develop the imagination, but the computer does not. But it develops much more – coordination of movements, speed of reaction, ability to act in a team. The books will not teach you this. |

Gardening |
