There
might be some people who believe that developing many different skills is
important than focusing on one skill when it comes to a personal success.
However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent
reasons. First, specialization is important to succeed. Moreover, it takes a
lot of time to develop many different skills.
To
begin with, to be a master of one specific field is important to succeed. This
is due to the fact that we live in a modern, specialized era, which means that
mastering one skill is more effective that developing many skills. Let me bring
up my friend John's story as an example. He majored in electrical engineering,
and he really focused on the subject in his entire campus life. As a result,
the ability and skills on his major made him enter Samsung company, a worldwide
leading group in electric devices. If he hadn't concentrated on his study on
the subject, he could have never achieved the success.
In
addition, you have to take a lot of time to develop many different skills. To be
specific, the world these days requires a lot of things such as foreign
languages, communication skills, computer skills and many more, but there is
just a limited time for us to develop all the things. Because of the limited
time, we have to give up some of them. According to a recent study done by
professor Kim in Seoul National University, it takes about 7 years for you to
master one new language and 5 years to master all computer program skills.
Consequently, you have to spend 12 years to have abilities about foreign
language and computer skills. The study clearly shows that it is not suitable
way to develop many different skills.
In
conclusion, it is important to master one specific area to succeed, and there
is not enough time to master all required skills. For these reasons, I firmly
believe that to concentrate on one ability is important than to develop many
different skills for a personal success. |
