There are thousands of things What can you do when you get bored , Both physical and mental; Games, activities, learning skills, new, sports...
In my opinion, boredom does not depend on the external situation. You can be in the most fun place in the world and feel bored and you can be in the saddest place in the world and have fun.
Four years ago I was studying in Cancun (Mexico), probably one of the most tourist destinations in the world. In the Riviera Maya there are so many things hundreds of things you can do, and I and my colleagues spent the day traveling.
However, a companion was bored and wanted to leave. So what happened? It did not depend on the situation; The fun created by us giving meaning to our experience; We thought we could have fun and that everything was interesting.
Later I discovered the same with my hometown. I used to think that I already knew everything, but there are many things I can do that I have not yet done that attract my attention and with which I will have fun.
The idea is that when you get bored in your home or wherever, you can do many things. I will show you some, but it is also advisable to use your imagination.
The case of Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking Is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent people on Earth and the best-known scientist. His fame can be compared to that of many actors, athletes or politicians and something great is his great sense of humor.
Who knows if he has sold so many books (more than a million Brief history of time) Because people are calling their attention to their handicap (suffer Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ) , Although in my opinion it is a great case of inspiration and how the mind is what builds reality.
What many people do not know about this British scientist is that he has not always been in the wheelchair. In fact, he began to feel the symptoms before finishing the physics career. He finished with honors and was recognized for his intelligence, although he did not stand out for his effort or ability to work. I was more interested in college parties and dances.
However, when his disability and limb limitations became greater, he became more interested in physics and today he is considered one of the greatest scientists in history, who knows whether to live up to Galileo or Einstein .
So far he has published more than 50 scientific publications, more than 10 books and has participated in more than 10 series and documentaries, including The Big Bang Theory , Futurama or The Simpsons.
Is Stepehn Hawking bored despite being in a wheelchair and having to talk from a machine?
Logically no, because it finds stimuli, questions are asked and has concerns and hopes, one of them travel to space.
I'm sure this case inspires you.
