Stamp collecting is a hobby of mine. Since I have spent a large amount of money on this hobby, a friend asked me whether I regard stamp collecting as a hobby or investment.
My interest in stamps goes back to the days when I was a little boy admiring the beautiful little pieces of paper stuck on the top right corners of envelopes. As I grew to take a more than superficial interest in stamps, my stamp collection grew in quantity and quality, especially after I started earning an income and became able to buy the stamps that I loved and could afford. I discovered the difficulty of having to store the stamps. It is expensive to buy the tools needed to properly collect, store and display stamps.
So far, my hobby has gone from being a little boy's love of beautiful pieces of paper to a more specialized(专门的) and intentional effort to collect stamps based on selected countries and themes. I now have an outstanding collection that includes a priceless collection of a particular country's stamps. I cannot put a price to it because very few others have an interest in that country's stamps, and the only similar collection I have seen is in a museum.

欲与天公试比高。
须晴日，看红装素裹，分外妖娆。
江山如此多娇，引无数英雄竞折腰。
惜秦皇汉武，略输文采；
唐宗宋祖，稍逊风骚。
一代天骄，成吉思汗，
只识弯弓射大雕。
俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。
薄雾浓云愁永昼， 瑞脑消金兽。 佳节又重阳， 玉枕纱厨， 半夜凉初透。 东篱把酒黄昏后， 有暗香盈袖。 莫道不消魂， 帘卷西风， 人比黄花瘦。
