Our lives are already filled with classes, homework, working, relationships and sleeping. When we do have a spare moment, it is all too easy to spend it on the endless entertainment and media that are right at our fingertips. I do not doubt that there are some people who could bee a great writer or musician. I only fear that so many people are busy pursuing their education and their careers, but they never even see the potential (潛能) they have. The next great photographer or singer could be going to college right now. But they might not even know they have a gift for photographing or singing if they39。ve never picked up a camera or a guitar. Of course, the final goal of pursuing a new hobby shouldn39。t be to bee rich and famous. For most people, a hobby is just something they enjoy doing for the purpose of the thing itself. Such hobbies are still very useful. Studies have shown that people who have a hobby are less likely to have stress and more likely to have more meaningful lives. Most importantly, a hobby is just something you do to make you happy. I hate to break it to you, but we all have a long lifetime of work and stress ahead of us. It will make things much easier if we can practice the piano or make some collections after work. Sure, it39。s not easy to start a new hobby while going to school, but it will likely never get easier than it is right now. So think about the thing that you have always wanted to try but were too embarrassed or busy or whatever. You never know, you might bee the world39。s next great people. If not, you39。ll at least be a little more wellrounded, more interesting and less stressed.（1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
