To be financially secure and spiritually pleased,a man who has an occupation ought to have two or three hobbies.It tends to make people laugh by saying:"I will develop hobbies when I am retired."Such a promise is like a bubble which will burst in the end,leaving pleasure forever beyond.On the other side,if a man is only interested in acquiring knowledge and abilities irrelevant to his daily work,it is also hard to get true pleasure in the long run.
Broadly speaking,hobbies for those who have jobs should be practical.For example,it is impractical for a construction worker,after a hard week's manual labor,to develop the interest of playing football on Saturday afternoon.It is also unlikely for a politician or a business man,who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days,to attend drama courses at the weekend.
It may also be said that laborers are divided into two classes:first,those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly,those whose work is everything and pleasure just exists in work.The former are the majority.They have their compensations.The long hours in the office or the factory bring them money,not only as the means of livelihood,but as a driving force for pleasure beyond their work.But for the second class,the working hours are never long enough.Each day is enjoyed like a holiday,and when real holidays come,they see them as interruptions.To both classes,the need of changing the angle of viewing work and pleasure is essential.Those who find it hard to enjoy their work are not fully enjoying the world they live in.However,it is more urgent for those whose work is their all pleasure to drive the work occasionally off their minds and develop hobbies.
