In general, I think there are two kinds of interests and interesting things to do, the first one can be more "tough" and the second one is more "soft".

My latest interest is to go for a walk in the park after work, I think walking is also an interest, but walking is the second kind of softer because it does not cost anything, everyone can walk, everyone can walk, this does not need to learn and do not need to study, directly will be, for example, I now want to develop a hobby of painting, or running marathons, this kind of belong to the hard, because hard sexual is to make you to deliberately learn, so that you learn this skill, using their mentality to overcome difficulties so that you have this ability.

I don't know if you have friends around to learn new things especially fast, this kind of person is not just good at some specific things, his advantage is his ability to learn, can quickly learn new things.

Some time ago I had dinner with a few friends, one of my friends named Brian, Brian is drawing picture books with very powerful people, and then I asked him what he was working on recently. He said he was playing with photography now, and I said, "So you don't draw picture books anymore? Through the conversation, we can understand that Brian's thinking is leaping, he belongs to the kind of "other people's children", he can do everything very well, and can make some achievements.

I think it is an option for people to choose a "tough" hobby or a "soft hobby", not all hobbies have to be "tough" and purposeful. Not all hobbies have to be "tough" and purposeful.

So why do we have interests and hobbies? Essentially to make good use of time, if you do not use the time is a waste of time, such as we are playing with the phone, this is not called interest, nor is it called a hobby, because this thing is a waste of time, at best is considered a pastime. And what is the most valuable thing in our life? The most valuable thing in our life is time, we should always consider how we can use our time, this is exercising the state of our mind, whether it is a "tough" hobby or a "soft" hobby, you will have the state of addiction, once Once you get caught up in it, you don't feel the time passing, and then you end up with a sense of belonging and a sense of joy.

But you may say that I don't feel the time passing even if I play with my phone. Yes, but have you ever thought about the feeling of emptiness and even anxiety that comes after you play with your phone? But after my walk I can not think of many things in my head as I figured out, so the mindset is also very important, you cultivate this so-called hobby will let you get to what? If you end up getting then you use the time well and develop a hobby, if you can't get something, instead if you don't continue it will become empty and anxious, so now you still think this is also considered a hobby?

About whether it is an interest or hobby I think whether the final acquisition can be used as a criterion. Always keep in mind what is the purpose of our hobby. We should never forget what we need in the end.

A hobby is something that attracts us, something that wants us to explore it, or spontaneous activity, and having one or more hobbies can be a great help to our psyche as well.

So, do you have a hobby?
