It is absolutely essential that everyone gets a chance to have a period of rest after a spell of hard work. It is very often seen that only work makes the mind dull. Even, if machines are made to run continuously, they tend to give trouble. They cannot function properly in the same fashion and the human mind needs rest to start with a dew vigour. And for this recreation is necessary.
There is hardly any point in wasting one’s off time. There are people who just do nothing during their leisure. Such men are not very successful in life. One must see how one can best utilise this free time to get the best from life.
Here the question of developing a hobby comes. One can develop various types of hobby. For a young boy, sports are essential to develop not only a good body but also a healthy mind. It gives the boy a chance to mix with a lot of other boys and thus he can develop various ideas by talking to them.
Another very interesting hobby is reading. It is rightly said that a hook is a man’s best friend. One can easily pass long hours by going through the classics of different literatures. It is an education by itself. You are learning during your recreation. Nothing can be better than such a recreation. Choosing the right kind of recreation is important but what is more important is having recreation.
