……-:Hobbies:-……

              Hobbies are things we do for good amusement. They do not count as regular daily we do. For example going to school or work is not a hobby. Going to the market or to the temple cannot be called a hobby. There are lots of examples where one man’s work becomes another’s hobby. Suppose a person is a gardener by profession. He may choose writing short stories as a hobby. Likewise a writer by profession may take up gardening as a hobby.                     There are many kinds of hobbies. Some are simple. Some are expensive.  Certain hobbies bring you an income. Others make you spend. Collecting stamps, collecting coins, Collecting pictures and books are some types of hobbies. You have got to spend money on them. But they ate not costly. Collecting old cars, antique furniture or famous paintings come under the category of very expensive hobbies. When you sell the fruits and vegetables you grow for amusement. You receive money. The expensive hobbies very often do not return the money invested. Some people have adopted hobbies like fishing and hunting in them you amuse yourself at the cost of other being’s lives. A hobby like photography may help you to have the images of the fish birds and animals you see, with you for a long time. It doesn’t affect their lives. Hobbies have another good aspect. A mischievous boy may be nuisance to his parents during his holidays. When taught to adopt a useful hobby, he will spend the free time usefully. Every one should be have some sort of a hobby. If not mere studies or work may tire him and make the life boring with no amusement.

……-:Honesty:-……

When a person is truthful in word and deed we say that he is honest. An honest man always tells the truth. He says just what he thinks. He does not pretend to feel what he does not feel really. He always keeps his promises. If he says that he will come to meet you on such and such a time on a certain day. He will do so at any cost. This nature makes you keep trust in him. He not only speaks the truth. He acts truly. You most have met a lot of people who utter lies whenever they open their mouths. They may deceive people for a time. But when people understand their true nature they shun him.             An honest worker does his best at his work place. He doesn’t take much leave. He doesn’t cheat his master. He doesn’t while away time idling and claim full wages. An honest master too treats his workers well. He pays their due wages in time. He doesn’t delay their payments giving a dozen of false causes. An honest businessman does his buying and selling very fair. He sells his goods at moderate price. He doesn’t sell unsatisfactory items and make his customers at a loss. Honest people have a few outstanding characteristics. They never steal, cheat or hesitate to pay their debts. He treats other people the same away he likes to be treated by them. An honest person may be not so rich, but he wins the respect of the others. They trust him, honor him, and regard him as a real gentleman with straight policies, not bent either by wealth or power.
