A hobby can give more meaning to our life. Here are some reasons why having a hobby is important.
As a chance to connect with yourself
Perhaps one of the best active ways to get in touch with yourself is to explore (探索) yourself through your hobby. It does not matter what your hobby is. Have a hobby of your own. It is the private (私人的) time you have with yourself.
As a chance to meet people of similar taste
Having a hobby is a great way to meet people. When you get material (材料) or something else for your hobby, you will meet many people who have the same hobby. By communicating with them, you will find out lots of things in common.
As a chance to share
What you learn through your hobby gives you something to share with others. People who learn card-making can use cards as gifts. Hobbies like music and painting help you to share the fine experience of art. People who like photography (摄影) like to share their photos. Having a hobby gives you a reason to share with another person.
