A veces la vida se trata solo de divertirse

Sometimes life is just about having fun.

I can guarantee you that at least every day you have a thought why I am studying this if at the end I am not going to use it for anything or if I am not going to remember this tomorrow? Or why I am doing this, If I could just quit it and do any other thing I rather do than this, something that entertains me more than this, something that is better or enjoyable than this. Well, sometimes life is just that doing what you want to do and just having fun.

In my picture we can see a badminton match with people that are surely enjoying it and having a good time, and playing badminton just because they want to and like to do it, not only for a competition, they are doing it as a extracurricular activity or to do something they like in their free time.

My quote is “sometimes life is just about having fun” and I think that that phrase is giving a message that maybe sometimes we don’t have to be all day preparing for something or trying too hard, sometimes we just have to take a break and have fun, do another thing that relaxes you, a hobby, like maybe badminton so that you can distress yourself, clear your mind while you are doing another thing and then, when you decide it is time to go back to work, you can start fresh with the mind ready to focus in what you have to do.

It is proved that our mind has like concentration moments, an amount of time when we are totally focused and after that we start losing the focus and thinking about other things, at that point, we have to stop, do something else and then continue. Also that doing sport, mostly the individual ones like chess, tennis or gymnastics help to concentrate because for that you require complete concentration and when you finish doing sport and then study for example, your mind is already active and you can learn quickly.

Another meaning that the quote may have is that when it says that sometimes life is just about having fun, it may mean that sometimes maybe the answer to a problem etc it is solved when you have fun or do your hobby.

An example for this is that all along the human history there have been many discoveries made by accident when the person who discovered it was doing anything else except trying to discover something or prove something for example, the French fries, in 1853 the chef George Crum was doing the job he loved to do and accidentally cut the potatoes too thin and when he fried them he realized that they were crispy and delicious, and also the saccharin, in 1879 by the scientist Constantine Fahlberg that he forgot to wash his hands and when he was going to eat his favorite sandwich, he noticed that it was very sweet, due to the combination of chemicals that he had contaminated in his hands.

As you may see, in these cases, people were just having fun and doing what they like to do, George Crum to cook and Constantine Fahlberg to eat sandwiches that finally got them
