Maybe you will spend some time on your hobby. 2. 没有爱好就没有真正的快乐。Hobbies help our happiness. They give us purpose, meaning, a creative outlet, and they can even relieve stress. One of my blog entries, from May of 2016, tells us how hobbies can help us identify some of our passions and that in turn can give us interesting content to include in a life story or memoir. 3.Certainly things like playing cards or other games, especially at family gatherings, can lead to some good memory. Or what about a day on the lake or the golf course?4. You can get geography and history lessons from collecting stamps or coins from around the world. One of the things I enjoy is playing guitar. Its a hobby I am not nearly good enough for pubic performances. 5. 但是我喜欢边弹吉他边唱歌， 以此来放松自己。 Get me around a few friends, family members or even a classroom full of students and I might break into a song. I was doing that today with my 5th graders. If you want to start a new hobby or even search for new ideas, then check out A Full Guide On How To Start A New Hobby. Its posted on the SewingIsA website. Some of the takeaways for me from the article included how hobbies can introduce us to new people, widen our knowledge and skills, and improve our confidence and self-esteem. Win, win and win.51. _52. _53. _54. _55. _
