> The point of hobbies is not "getting good at them". It's enjoying them for their own sake. Otherwise they turn into ... work. Put like this, it is actually mind blowing and betraying the belief of my whole life. To me, hobbies are activities that you enjoy so much you eventually get good at. My definition of talent is the ability to persistently and consistently improve yourself in a field. This definition includes the ability to efficiently obtain positive dopamine feedback to continue training and effectively curb burnout. I really wished I can say I am talented, both in my works and my hobbies. But maybe, just maybe. Getting good is not really important after all. (And about work: Maybe getting good at work and advancing career is also not the point? What is work anyway? Contributing to society in exchange of being let alive? Lol)
