This image depicts the game of golf. During summertime when the weather gets sunny and hot, I get to spend lots of time playing golf.
Playing golf means achieving freedom in a challenging way during unobligated time period. And I am doing it for it's own intrinsic values rather than something that pays off. Also playing golf makes me so involving because it provides abilities and challenges which gives me sense of accomplishment.
As a result, my definition of leisure is a concept that has to deal with the freedom, intrinsic values and challenges. To begin with the freedom, leisure has to take place during unobligated time as it has derieved from Latin word licere meaning "to be free." Intrinsic value is also necessary for leisure to meet its requirement. If I am playing golf tournament to win a prize, then it would be doing for an extrinsic value and it would no more be considered a leisure. Instead, I'm doing it for its own sake of it. Finally leisure should bring certain challenges. Without the challenges, golf would be boring and only be waste of time in the hot weather.
