Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Certain individuals think that a hobby must be hard and complex in order to be pleasurable. I totally disagree with
this
perspective because the harder it is the more stressful it becomes. Linking Words
Also
, certain people seem to enjoy hobbies that are pretty easy. These factors are discussed below.

First
and foremost, when a loved hobby is tough, it becomes a source of stress rather than pleasure. Linking Words
This
is because the person that wants to succeed will invest all their energy and in the process get drained. Linking Words
For example
, several of my friends that claim education to be their hobby have fallen ill in the process of trying to score the highest grades because school on its own is quite demanding.

Secondly
, we cannot say that these activities must be hard to be enjoyable because we have witnessed other human beings falling in love with things easy to achieve like listening to music, playing a game one is already talented in or watching a movie. These have gone on to be successful in their activities without losing muscle in the process. Linking Words
For example
, Christiano Ronaldo was always gifted in and loved football from a tender age. He is still making it to the big stage and achieving great awards in a sport that comes naturally to him. Linking Words
This
proves that the magnitude of toughness cannot be a measure of enjoyability.
In conclusion, Linking Words
therefore
, I argue that one does not have to be in duress to attain pleasure in something. Linking Words
This
can be seen in the example of Christiano Ronaldo discussed above. Linking Words
Hence
, I do not conform to the view held by some individuals that hobbies need to be difficult to be pleasurable.Linking Words
