Ice Skating
Ice skating is a lifestyle activity which most people are familiar with but therefore cannot participate in, ice skating can be viewed as one of the most difficult fun activities which one may consider, but then again it is still considered as fun and social.

"Ice skating is moving on ice by skates. It can be done for a variety of reasons, including exercise, leisure, travelling, and various sports. Ice skating occurs both on specially prepared indoor and outdoor tracks, as well as on naturally occurring bodies of frozen water such as lakes and rivers". (infoplease.com)

Bungee Jumping

Bungee jumping
Bungee jumping is an adventurous activity that anyone who requires participating in can do so. Bungee jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. This may sound scary but apparently it is a fun thing to do.


One may ask themselves where to go when they want to experience this act of bungee jumping, they are actually everywhere, like Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, you can name them all. "Bungee jumping in South Africa has earned a global reputation for its claim to having the highest commercial bungee jump in the world".(South Africa outdoor activities) So as South African citizens, it therefore can become a benefit for one to participate in the activity, clearly it’s not a bad thing after all.

Art

Art
Art can be viewed in different ways depending on the individual you are. Some use art as a lifestyle activity whereby they draw sculptures, paint, create drawings and more. Art can therefore be expressed in different ways because as humans we are all different. Some people use art to express their feelings whereby they draw, paint, create depending on their emotions and what they are feeling on that particular moment or day.

Although some use art to express their feelings which are those who love art with a passion, some therefore use art to make money whereby they paint and draw pictures to sell them to the environment, these people are those who use art to make a profit in their lives. Some therefore use art professionally like designing engineers who create architecture drawings on a daily basis depending on the task that they are supposed to fulfil with regards to their jobs.

So as it is viewed that art can therefore be viewed from different perspectives and analyzed differently. If you are an artist and you are doing nothing about it, its time you go out there and embrace your talent, don’t hold yourself back because that talent will take you places in life.

Acting

Acting
According to the English Oxford Dictionary, acting is referred to as" the art or occupation of performing fictional roles in plays, films or television". Acting is therefore the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film who tells us the story by portraying a character.

If acting just means pretending to be someone else, then anyone can do it because that is the lifestyle we live everyday as individuals. So one can therefore ask themselves why actor on television and films get paid to act as someone else though we can all do it, in that case can’t we all get paid? "A professional actor’s goal is to portray another individual as honestly as possible that’s it. A portrayal. Pretense. Pretending".

(Mark W. Travis, 2013)

Therefore, for professional actors, they consider acting as a career path, which is why they get paid for it, and some of us do not take it as serious as they do and as professional as they do, so pretending is not only a lifestyle which we are used to living every day, it can be a breadwinner of some people.
