They can help a person in psychological development. Hobby is your usual practice close to your life every day and has impact on characteristic and attitude in life.

In my opinion, I think that hobbies are not able to beneficial to academic achievement in current education system. Generally, the academic achievement has been standardized by the standard of institution. It is difficult to evaluate people who are active in sport or with very well organization skills by giving them a piece of paper and pen. By the way, I would like to share my hobbies as below.

Soccer is one of my favorite physical hobbies since form sixth in school. I have been playing soccer with friends during my leisure time, while some people consider soccer as an entertaining sport activity. I think that soccer is like a platform for competition so far .In another way, I realize soccer is a sport of art which makes up the emotions of friendship. There is no discrimination on the basis of race, religion or colors of skin in soccer.

In the sport of soccer, I’m a person who always likely to play as a mid-fielder position. This position is the most suitable for and preferable to me which is because mid-field player often plays an important role to organize and control the whole game on either attacking or defensive strategies. As a mid-fielder, I like to be a starter to initiate our attacking strategies. I usually start up with a variety of fantastic skills to confuse our opponents players in order to proceed our team’s attacking strategy by passing the ball to striker. Consequently, the striker will execute his sprint into a fierce competition with the opponent defenders. Indeed, I always stands by to assist and support the strikers and teammates.

A good mid-field player may also responsible to communicate with defenders. It is a middle person position. Sometimes, I need to do successive passing according to my skill and decision making. A single missed pass or hesitation is highly possible to ruins down our scores or cause to a dangerous situation to defenders.Althernately, the opponent will take an advantage of launching a counter-attacking approach to us instantly. This situation will cause a trouble to our defenders. For me, I will immediately back up to the defenders. However, I would be aware of those mistakes in next time while passing the ball. I have learned from mistake and figure out a mindset, that I should straight forward to make a decision when I encounter any critical condition. Otherwise, I would be exposures in risk to fail.

My hobby with sentimental element is painting. I would like to share little bit about this area by recalling my memories from my secondary school. I’d like painting and drawing in classroom while teacher was teaching in the class. In traditional perception, painting is not a way of long term career. I had to struggle and concentrate on my higher education after graduating from secondary school. Hence, I view it as one of the hobby for life.

During my unemployment time, I had came out with a sense, has sparking up my painting passion in painting again. When I have an abstract image in my brain; I will sketch out in a draft paper. I would decide to paint by using oil painting tools. I’m a beginner of oil painting because of lack of techniques. Without the formal training, I have started to search information from internet such as YouTube, Google and also sharing ideas with some people who are in it or professional artist of oil painting. The image is quite large and abstract. Therefore, I have to separate it in four partitions. It is more efficient to complete by four partitions of canvas respectively. The purpose of the separation is because to avoid careless mistakes may possibly caused the whole picture is spoiled. I still on the progress to improve my skills and practice make perfect for the next creation of painting.

The title of my paint is related to experience of life, has named in French as La Monde du Capitalisme (The world of capitalism).This is an expression of my emotional thinking though the paint where the world is rules by group of capitalists and illustrated the selfishness of human kind. This is simply great way to unwind at the end of a stressful day and enjoy my own imaginations of creativity.

Meditation and thinking are considered as my favorite activities in life. Since I was young, I already have a lot of curios motive to find out the truth behind those incident happened. Fortunately, I studied in science stream especially I’m physics and mathematics students. According to Albert Einstein, he has two quotes with respect to thinking, “Imagination is important than knowledge” and “Reading too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking”. Our knowledge is being applied basing on what we know and experience from the past. Precisely, we can solve our everyday problems basing on our knowledge. Eventually, I believe that creativity and imagination of thinking are allow us to tackle our problems with more widely mind, flexible and difference type of the ways to overcome its. However, the convention academic system nowadays may not allow you think out of the box. Alternatively, this hobby is allowing me to analyze pros and cons of the problems all the time in my daily life.

Above of these, there are several hobbies such like reading and listening to classical music, games, and internet browsing are my hobbies as well. I feel that I’m getting a release my daily stress through participating these activities. Hobbies are daily practices that allow us to understand more on exploration of our inner character and personality.
