L59-3: Collecting

Whatever it

consists of, stamps, records, first editions of books, china, glass, antique

furniture, pictures, model cars, stuffed birds, toy animals, there is always

something to do in connection with it, from finding the right place for the

latest addition to verifying facts in reference books.

This hobby

educates one not only in the chosen subject, but also in general matters which

have some bearing on it. There are also other benefits. One wants to meet

like-minded collectors, to get advice, to compare notes, to exchange articles,

to show off the latest find. So one's circle of friends grows. Soon the hobby

leads to travel, perhaps to a meeting in another town, possibly a trip abroad

in search of a rare specimen, for collectors are not confined to any one

country. Over the years, one may well become an authority on one's hobby and

will very probably be asked to give informal talks to little gatherings and

then, if successful, to larger audiences. In this way self-confidence grows,

first from mastering a subject, then from being able to talk about it.

Collecting, by occupying spare time so constructively, makes a person

contented, with no time for boredom.
