It is a common belief that mastering single
skill is the best way to succeed. However, I firmly believe that people who are
acquiring wide array of abilities are more likely to be successful in their
life, because success can be achieved not by only one factor but by several
elements and those factors affect each other.
To begin with, if you have more abilities,
then, you will have more powerful leaderships in dealing with a certain
circumstance. In other words, the more skills you have, the better condition
you can make. Take the example of opening a new business. If you open a new
wine bar, there are lots of requirement to make the business successful such as
deep knowledge of wine, sense of beauty for interior design, know-how of
treating customers and so on. If you are professional in only one skill, it
would be difficult to make it successful business. But if you are versatile at
as many field as possible, the restaurant would be operated based on a
competitive ground.
On top of that, diverse skills can generate
synergy effect among each other and lead to success much easier. Everything is
connected and each of skill can have positively influence on each other. In
this regard, people are able to maximize effectiveness to make business best.
For, instance, Ms. Chang Hanna, who is worldly renowned Korean cellist, is
famous for her emotional and passionate performance in the world. After she
graduated from Harvard music college, she started to major in philosophy because
she thought playing beautiful music comes from a harmony between technic and mentality.
After all, she could show more matured performance by making synergy effect.
Now she is regarded as a No.1 cello genius in the world and show more
emotionally enhanced music performance.
To sum up, have a wide range of abilities
is the key to success in life because it allows for good leadership and
generate a synergy effect.
For these reasons, I highly recommend obtaining
a variety of skills rather than only one skill
