L59-3: Collecting

Whatever itconsists of, stamps, records, first editions of books, china, glass, antique furniture,pictures, model cars, stuffed birds, toy animals, there is always something todo in connection with it, from finding the right place for the latest additionto verifying facts in reference books.

This hobbyeducates one not only in the chosen subject, but also in general matters whichhave some bearing on it. There are also other benefits. One wants to meet like-mindedcollectors, to get advice, to compare notes, to exchange articles, to show offthe latest find. So one's circle of friends grows. Soon the hobby leads totravel, perhaps to a meeting in another town, possibly a trip abroad in searchof a rare specimen, for collectors are not confined to any one country. Overthe years, one may well become an authority on one's hobby and will very probablybe asked to give informal talks to little gatherings and then, if successful,to larger audiences. In this way self-confidence grows, first from mastering asubject, then from being able to talk about it. Collecting, by occupying sparetime so constructively, makes a person contented, with no time for boredom.
