I've never seen any studies but so often we hear about people who retire and die within a few years. My theory is that many of them just have nothing to do, no hobbies. I'm 69 and loving retirement. There just aren't enough hours in the day. I started lifting weights about a year ago, and in the past year I lost 50 or 60 pounds. I play guitar. I'm studying French. I am using my time to try to become the best person I can be. I am reading books like "The Way of the Superior Man" and "Meditations by Marcus Aurelius". I'm playing and studying a lot of chess. Retirement is AWESOME, I've been waiting for this all my life!

I feel sorry for you, Dennis. In your brief comment (boast) I can see you’re very introspective, possibly selfish and probably egotistical. Try to look outside yourself, take the focus off you. Try volunteering or helping other people with your time. Helping other people will improve your personal growth. Your currently in a downward spiral of self-obsession.

My whole life has been one big hobby. I have always explored nearly everything that passed through my line of sight. The only problem is being a jack of all trades and a master of none. I’m old now, it’s been a blast. I get excited everyday still finding things I never knew even existed. Shoebill storks. Study Torah everyday finding everything I never knew. Life is great, God is greater. I want more of all the good things always.

As a professional bass player and composer, and a Personal trainer my whole life is a hobby

I am Indian girl I had married but that not workout .i am 23 years old now am starting my career . your videos really helpful me .now ia really concern my career . thanks brother

Chess, languages. I am learning Spanish. It is a great hobby that I can use every day. In a job, it very much helps. It immediately will enhance your job prospects and is also fun to learn.

This video actually checks off the box for number five. Because you are getting people to stop calling numbers 1, 2, and 4 "Hard Work." And instead, call hard work a "Hobby."

What a great way to correlate hobbies to a balanced life. Thank you.

The importance of hobbies is grossly overlooked . The reason CVs require you to list hobbies is that it gives an employer an insight to your personality. I believe hobbies should dictate your wage. For example I'm a drummer and if I owned a hotel and a teenager who drummed applied to wash dishes, I'd pay them £20 an hour to wash dishes and double up as their agent. Now if a fully qualified with 40 years experience applied whose hobby is fishing, I'd offer them all the overtime in the winter and coincide their redundancy with their pension and buy them a boat as their retirement present

I believe what society needs desperately is for people with skills to mentor the younger generations, help to give them purpose and meaning in their lives and open their eyes to ways for them to spend their time constructively, not just to improve themselves but to benefit the global 'village'.

I love learning, reading yes very good for your intellectual well being, in doing so you aquire a more advanced vocabulary. I have learned so much from just watching numerous KZread videos, I have been inspired here,like so many others that have also been inspired to develop further on their hobbies and in turn created income from it.

Due to a new work assignment, I've had to crack open some of my textbooks to revisit some Physics (Jackson) and Math (Arfken). Reading them now with "more experience" is a completely different from when I first tangled with them; the lightbulb stays on more often than not. I've also had to teach myself Digital Signal Processing and some other topics that I never had any formal coursework. If you "always hated Math", find a High School Geometry text & make sure that it contains straightedge & compass constructions. Teach yourself some good ol' Euclidian Geometry. The traditional Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences consists of The Trivium: Grammar, Logic & Rhetoric, and the Quadrivium: Arithmetic, Geometry, Musics & Astronomy. This is always a good place to start.

I just watched this vid. Its brilliant. I am going to start listening to the podcast, I going on 3-4 walks during the week and I love podcasts. I can't wait.

I love this.!💜 thank you !

I make jewelry! I was terrible at first, but it was fun. I watched KZread videos and got better and better. I now have over 500 pieces of jewelry and haven't gotten to the selling part yet.

I did 1 & 3 for my life work. Be careful and learn how to charge for your work. The more you grow you need more people, like accountants and lawyers. Soon the government and insurance companies can be making more than you. I loved what I did for work, but, hated the business part of it. Got to admit that it took me places I would never dreamed.

Does my 3kg computer backpack and all my food in it that I carry to work while taking public transport and a lot of walking in the city everyday count as "lifting weights"? Serious question @RobDialJr

Q: do you have any suggestions for developing daily schedule? It may sound odd that I am asking for help on this but I do. It is clear that blocking time off for hobbies will be one or blocks of my day. Thank you again 😊

I was 0-4 when you finished the first four. Thought I was going to go 5 for 5. But In my early 30's I became a Christian. Technically don't meet #5 because Christianity teaches that no one is perfect, all of us have sinned and need to place our trust in the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. After this repentance we don't live for ourselves but for Christ. But yet, the first four, I'm at a loss for.

9 out of 10 businesses fail. Knowing this, it is a much better investment in you to work for someone who is one of those 1 in 10 that made it. And then you can concentrate on what you love and maybe turn that into a job. I am in my 50s, I made the mistake of "finding a career in what you love" and it failed. I am now working in a job I had never heard of and I like it a lot. The truth is, working for someone else is fine and doing something that you don't initially love is good, because you discover things in that job that you love. And let's face it, most of the time it is work. If you are in a "job you love" and it sucks, it hurts more than one you don't love but do for money.
