Most people say that Yiduo is not overwhelmed. People often envy those versatile people, but in real life, why is there a phenomenon of "more than one piece of art? Is it true that being versatile is a mistake?
The answer is certainly not as simple as "yes" or "no. The most fundamental reason is that you do not have to focus on your own energy. Because a person's energy is limited and has too many hobbies, it is inevitable that he or she will be able to achieve good results in a field if he or she is too distracted.
The essence of all-round development is special development
Li Yuqin was fond of writing, painting, and singing from an early age, and she was extremely talented in these aspects. Her compositions were often used by the teacher as examples of the class. Her paintings were also frequently won prizes in various competitions, and her throat was good. Every time she sang, the listener gave a warm applause. In fact, she also has many hobbies, such as dancing. In short, she is a versatile girl in the eyes of others, and she is also proud of this. However, these talents brought her endless troubles.
When she entered high school, she was faced with a difficult development direction. Her hobbies for writing, painting, and singing do not matter. Therefore, it is difficult for an average person to decide what is easy to decide. Finally, she listened to her parents and chose to draw. From high school, she attended the art training class. With its own talent, I finally got admitted to the Art Design Department of the US Emy.
In her freshman year, with her own talent, her professional achievements were often the best in her series, and many professional works were reserved for school. However, in her junior year, she obviously felt a little powerless. Her Professional level lags behind her level from top to bottom until she graduated from her senior year. She was not competitive in her major, is a normal level. The reason is that she knows it well, that is, she spends a lot of time writing and singing. There is no way. It is difficult for her to give up her writing and singing. Every time she posted an article in the school journal, she joined the editorial department of the school journal, finally, I ran for the editor of the school journal. Li Yuqin will also appear in every music activity organized by the school. She later organized a band. She was the lead singer. To exercise the band's level, they "ran" in various bars. Although their performances were free of charge, they enjoyed it.
Therefore, until she graduated from college, she has always been a constant character in the school. Many of her classmates call it "talented women ".
After graduation, Li Yuqin was fortunate to have chosen a wider career range than the average person because of her versatility. At least I feel that I can choose to design, edit, and artist ads. When other students felt difficult to find a job, Li Yuqin had already found a job as a magazine editor. She has been working in the magazine for more than a year. Because she understands Advertisement Design, she is responsible for design and production of some graphic designs of the magazine. With experience in graphic design, more than a year later, Li Yuqin applied to an advertising company for advertising design. After less than a year in an advertising company, a friend told her that she had switched to a large entertainment company to serve as a full-time artist. The troubles also started from this job-hopping. Li Yuqin suddenly found that when a singer is not as good as he imagined, the so-called singer is just like the decoration in the whole casino. Many times, she acted as a host, and she felt that she was not suitable for the "colorful" working atmosphere. So she resigned in less than half a year.
During the unemployment period, Li Yuqin looked back on his work experience over the past two or three years and suddenly felt that he was useless. He was just deceiving himself. After more than a year of editing at the magazine, she suddenly found that she was not particularly fond of dealing with boring literature. She still feels a little interested in Advertisement Design, but she did not learn well because she spent a lot of time writing and singing during her college years. Therefore, she is very average in advertising companies, this is also the main reason for her resignation, compared with the real professional designers. Her decision to be a singer is just the result of a whim. As a matter of fact, she has never been clear about what she is best at, what she wants most, and how she will develop in the future.
Obviously, the embarrassing experience of the hero in the story above is caused by the blind pursuit of versatility.
The concept of the barrel effect has been around for a long time. It is determined by the length of the shortest piece of wood. However, this theory is not suitable for people. Bill? Gates is world famous for his software, not his philosophical skills. Imagine if Bill? Will Gates spend half of his time on software on his research philosophy, achieving success in his career? It is right to have a positive learning spirit, and it is no problem to have more skills without being overwhelmed. The question is how we can find what we are good at and how we can truly have a skill, after all, there is a huge amount of knowledge in this world, that is, a child prodigy cannot finish learning all the favorite knowledge and skills in his life.
