Must Leisure Activities Be Difficult to Be Enjoyable?

Individuals have different pastimes varying fromexploration of books to hiking on the mountain. A few propose that pastimes have to be arduous and challenging in order that Individuals may find them appealing  while others dispute this very idea. While this remains a controversial issue among two parties, I would strongly agree to the latter proposition for a few substantive reasons.

People regard a leisure activity or pastimes as an activity that one loves to engage in at one's leisure to keep one busy, albeit not limited to that. There is more to a leisure activity because father than just been entertaining, it plays more subtle, but significant roles in the lives of individuals.  Besides being fun, it helps people unwind and relieved themselves of worry or stress. It is a way of getting distracted from depression and distress. Then, the question of whether such activity should be complex or flexible is hinged on individuals' preference or demands. People all have various ways of spending their free time. For instance, a few individuals , most especially male children   could enjoy engaging in taskful activities such as mountain hiking , skating, sky diving or puzzle solving in their spare time because of their energetic  personality. By comparison, some others(sometimes the girl children)may have preference over simple but interesting activities such as book reading, arts and craft, singing or sight seeing at their leisure. 

In conclusion, I do not think a pastime has to follow a particular set of stipulated rules or structure for it to be absorbing. What should be individuals' concern is that whether difficult or not, these are activities that get them engaged and resourceful in their free time, while giving them much happiness and satisfaction.

The Importance of Higher Education in the Society

Some people believe students in the institute of higher learning should fully fund their studies themselves due to the fact that advanced learning only benefits them, and not the society. I personally do not think this is the case, therefore , I strongly disagree to this proposition. Modules taught in the universities, I would say, are voluminuous; however,  more explanatory and comprehensive version of the secondary schools' curricula.  In Nigeria,  for instance, students are taught different laws and principles to become scholars,  physicists and scientists without having an insight into how the laws work in reality. The universities, on the contrary, provide them with a wide variety of modules, and lots of seminars, presentations and workshops that are tailored to help them gain more expertise in a specific area or field. These higher institutes of learning, without doubts, are microcosm of the larger society because they focus more on practical, rather than theo...

Health Diet and Adequate Exercise for Improving Health

In recent times, a relatively fair number of people neglect the consumption of wholesome meals and even the act of keeping themselves physically fit for some reasons, of which busy/tight schedule could be one of them. For example, in Lagos, Nigeria, a buzzing city in the Western part of the country, which is comprised of a quite large number of inhabitants, who go through struggles, hurdles and hustles each day while transporting themselves to their diverse work places, working _ class people, and even small business owners usually need to stay awake very early in the morning so as to beat the traffic snarl, and even stay out late at night, stuck in the traffic jam. In this situation, people barely have enough time for themselves on business (working) days. Therefore, they do not even have the time for exercises. The only thing they would always love to do at their leisure is 'take a nap' or 'sleep' and 'snooze'. In the same manner, they hardly have the time to ...

Nowadays, a great deal of people do not want to interact verbally with the older adults in the society the way they used to in the past. This is actually not a positive situation, therefore, the issue needs to be surmounted urgently.  In the ancient times, people _both little and young used to be enthusiastic to communicate with the elderly ones. Back in those days, , children would sit under the moonlight to listen to the elders while they spoke. Similarly, the younger adults were never tired of consulting them to seek advice on diverse issues. Taking cognizance of the importance of these generians and the need to communicate with them effectively had greatly led to comparatively great achievements in the past. Indisputable, the old are most experienced as regards the phenomenon of the universe that the young and are capable of handing situations meticulously and sagaciously.
