Making Good Use Of Our Spare Time

In this modern era, anyone who complains that he or she has nothing to do is simply downright lazy. There are videos to watch, internet to surf, books to read, music to listen to and games to play. In fact I find that I have not enough time to do all the things I want to do. So many things are left undone. If only time is a transferable commodity, maybe those who have too much time can pass some over to me.

As a student, school takes up more than half of the day. In the afternoon there is the inevitable homework to do. An quick afternoon nap is out of the question unless you want to slog late into the night to complete the assignments. Very rarely do teachers not give assignments or homework.

When evening comes, games and sports come alive. Everywhere you go, you will see young people and a fair number of older ones indulging in some form of exercise. Be it simply kicking a beat-up football, jogging, cycling or being at the bottom of a pile of football players does not matter too much. What matters is actually doing them. The doers know that time is invaluable and they spend it joyfully in the things they love ...
... to do. The non-doers prefer to sit inside their turtle shells and wonder why there is nothing to do. For these unhappy people I suggest that they could at least be spectators. They could go and watch others play. Even if they do not prefer to participate, watching games and sports is a good way of spending spare time too. It is a form of entertainment and recreation. If nothing, at least they know that they are among living human beings not dead ones.

An average housewife has a ton of chores to do. When I look at my mother doing her chores, I realize that the amount of work she has to perform each day is massive. She gets up at dawn and work right through the day cleaning, cooking and washing. When the cleaning, cooking and washing is all done, there is always more to do. Beside breaking jobs, she has to go to the market to buy food for her ever-hungry children then look after their general well-being. Anyone who finds that he has too much extra time can help his mother in her housework. All he has to do is to sweep the floor or wipe the dust off the windows or simply just peel some potatoes for the overworked mom. Perhaps then, he will appreciate the preciousness of time. He will also learn to appreciate the toils of a loving mother, how she works for nothing in return except some love from the people she works for.

I suppose the majority of the people who find they have too much time on their hands are people who do not find interest in life itself. This kind of attitude need correcting. If they look at life with pessimism and then feel depressed about it, obviously things are not going to look very interesting. On the other hand, if they look at life positively and with optimism, fell thankful that they are alive, the likelihood will be that they will go out to do the things they love to do, and enjoy every minute of it.

Of course life itself is filled with obstacles and problems. If one allows such barriers to prevent one from living then one might as well be dead. The trick is to look above these obstacles and problems beyond the clouds of depression. The sun shines for people who can do this. Life is never dull and there is always plenty to do.
