Class 12 English Unit 11: Critical Thinking

 

Critical Thinking

a.      Do you believe that walking helps us understand ourselves? Give reasons in support of your opinion.

Yes, I believe in it. Walking is a great way to get to know oneself better. Having a healthy brain is connected to increased cognitive performance and a better understanding of one’s self through frequent walking, according to recent scientific studies. Having a better understanding of the world around us improves our mental abilities. Walking enables us to have a better sense of the lives of the people around us. It also lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. It helps us comprehend life in a deeper way by enhancing our mood and memory. Traveling with others educates us about their way of life and reveals to us what really matters in life. Traveling to new areas opens one’s eyes to the many sides and challenges of life.

b.     Think of one of your hobbies. How does this hobby relate to your psyche and self?

The practice of yoga is one of my favorite hobbies. It is linked to my psyche and self because it allows me to relax while still being productive. Using it makes me look and feel better while also reducing stress. Yoga reduces stress and anxiety and aids in coping with depression. It gives me a chance to better myself. It is a boon to our personality development because it makes us mentally strong and self-reliant by driving away obstacles in life and enhancing our inner creativity and hidden talents.

Yoga is a great way to unwind spiritually and mentally, as well as to improve one’s physical and mental health. Preventing high blood pressure is a benefit, as well as improving one’s overall health.

c.      Many people turn their hobbies into careers. Is it good to turn one's hobby into a career?

Hobbies are the activities one enjoys in one’s leisure time. It’s no secret that many people make a living out of their hobbies and interests. Traveling, photography, yoga, reading, fishing, handicraft, music and acting are all examples of hobbies that might lead to a career. They become well-known and wealthy on a national and worldwide scale because of their exclusive emphasis on a certain hobby. It’s a good idea to make a profession out of one’s hobby because those who are passionate about their work do better. Some people thrive in photography, while others shine at singing or dancing. Our bodies and brains benefit from hobbies because they extend our horizons, relieve stress, and refresh us after a stressful day. Because they approach their job with an open mind and do it from the heart, they have a distinct advantage in their field.
