Hobbies

drive your sense of success and happiness. 4. Examine Your Pastimes and Hobbies Career planning provides a great time to also examine the activities you like doing when you're not working. It may sound a bit odd, to examine non-work activities when doing career planning, but it's not. Many times your hobbies and leisurely pursuits can give you great insight into future career paths. Think you can't make a hobby into a career? People do it all the time. The great painter Paul Gauguin…

acting how they are. Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of Needs Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a 5 tier theory which is used as a motivational theory of human needs. Maslow believes that individuals are usually encouraged achieve some specific needs and he believes that some needs take priority over others. Maslow placed physical survival at the first tier of the pyramid as he believes that this is the most basic need which motivates ones behaviour, Maslow believes that once the first tier is…

I have dabbled with art ever since I was a toddler. I would draw anywhere I went: school, home, and even at church. It started out as a hobby, but soon, I immersed myself into the world of art by integrating art with medicine. I have always found medical dramas to be particularly intriguing. Developing into this interest, I started writing my own medical journal, where I took notes from a book called Gray’s Anatomy and from the medical dramas I watched. I would draw the diagrams of body parts…

makes ballet so difficult. It’s Alot of Fun Even though I’ve already stress the difficulty of strength and technique training, ballet is best when you just have fun. As long as you’re not trying to compete, having fun is the most important part of any hobby or sport, ballet included. Usually only very young girls (i.e. 4-9 year olds) wear pink, or sometimes white. Older girls wear all black. The only time a ballerina may wear a pink tutu as as a costume, during a dance recital. However, in 7…

onto the field, athletes know what can happen and that is the risk they take at their own leisure. Actions have been made to make the game safer, since 2004, 122 rules have been made to make the game safe. Football may not be the safest hobby, but it is a fun hobby to have. Once again football is America’s pastime and that should never change. Changes are always going to be made to keep the players safe, but football should never be abandoned or forgotten…

much more likely to relapse. You can’t come to grips with something you can’t stand to talk about. Hands-on therapies also teach people how to use their free time in non-destructive ways. A hobby, such as painting, gives people better ways to fill the hours they used to spend on drugs or alcohol. Developing a hobby isn’t the point of the therapy, but it’s often a happy byproduct. Some of the therapies also offer health and fitness benefits. Yoga, in particular, is good for improving strength…

I also play with Hotspurs with the 2003 girls. With the academy, I personally learn more, since it’s more difficult playing with the boys. It’s also more difficult in the sense that when I go for a one v one, some are much bigger or much more skillful. With hotspurs, I’m mainly there for the games and the fitness. With the girls, I'm kind of tall and I have more skill than most of them. In my opinion, it isn’t challenging and I don’t improv on anything. I started playing soccer when I was about…

Beginning junior year, I occupied myself with the most constructive investment in my life. My daily routine was bland, but oddly hailed as the ultimate path to victory. I was learning in school, but the learning lacked meaning. Plot lines and mathematical formulas were unavailing ideas, which I tepidly regurgitated. I concluded that a life permeated with monotonous toil was not worth celebrating on my day of judgment. I was baffled by the amount of minds remaining idle and not questioning the…

Within a few chapters in The Second Sex by Simone De Beauvoir, she uses the terms "immanence" and "transcendence". These two terms have very opposite meanings. Immanence is a term used to define women and transcendence is used to describe the male gender. These terms define the situations that men and women are involved in. In one of the chapters Beauvoir goes into depth about three kinds of illusions that women construct that demonstrate transcendence within the home or within their domestic…

Just as the military has a representation of power and might, there is more to a service member’s life than shining boots and rifle proficiency. Soldiers have other interests besides drill and ceremony, they have hobbies and responsibilities which may not easily congeal with perceptions of the military. This sailor illustrates the point by describing what he and fellow shipmates do in their off time which includes games of Dungeons and Dragons while submerged in the…
