I read an article that said.

Definition of hobby (not the horse)from Dictionary.com:
"an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation..."

Definition of self-interest from same source:
"regard for one's own interest or advantage, esp. with disregard for others."
