So, I actually have several hobbies such as reading books and cooking, but it depends on the time when I do them. So, for example, after the burn out of long day after the job, I usually read books about motivation or cooking, also drama books about love. I love reading after the burn out of long day because it helps me to feel relaxed, it helps me to be ready to the next day. And if you have one cup of coffee and a good book, you don’t need a person to talk. A book is like a person, a book is like a friend and he can discuss with you anything and a topic. And the book is very sincere, you know, not like the other person. Also, as I said, I love cooking, but usually during the weekends, I like to cook for the breakfast. Usually, I prepare food which is made from meat, for example, Asian cuisine, Meshbarmak or Plov. I love cooking such foods, such meals, it is very satisfying while you cook, not only while you eat it. So, while cooking, you don’t think about anything, you just think about, you just focus on the meal and how to make it perfect. And it helps you to think about the meaning of life and to feel how it feels to live without thinking about the job, without thinking about any other things. And I think it is the real meaning of life. And I recommend all people that they should have at least one hobby in order to feel themselves as a grown person, as a happy person. It really helps you. Yeah, I recommend it. Thank you.
