▶ Your Answer :
Some people think
that having in-depth knowledge is important than wide array of abilities.
However, in my opinion, it is great for people to consider expanding abilities
as the most important thing. There are two reasons that I support my argument
with.
To begin with, people
with a great amount of knowledge can be regarded as people of intelligence in
this world. It is required for people to have a wide variety of knowledge
rather than deep knowledge of one specific field. However, people who have no interest
and knowledge in various fields might simply be ignored. By having many
different kinds of knowledge, they can be recognized by people. For example,
when I was 20 years old, I wanted to enter a company. Due to the fact that I
only learned about the art, people in the company tended to neglect me.
Therefore, I tried my best to get various knowledge and read a lot of books. As
time passed, by showing papers that contained what I had read, I was never
disregarded by people in aspects of lack of knowledge.
On top of that, while
making great effort to improve wide array of abilities, people can gain diverse
experiences. Imagine people only have textbook knowledge. Their views will be
so narrow. By being exposed to various situations, they can not only get a lot
of experiences but also broaden their horizons of the world. For instance, when
my brother was 20 years old, he used to study only one major. He thought that
it was necessary for him to expand his perspectives. They learned about the
sports like playing basketball, baseball and tennis. It led him to want to meet
varied people who usually played sports. Therefore he was able to learn ways to
deal with a lot of people who had their own unique personalities. He thought
that effort to get extensive knowledge made him get a lot of experiences.
To sum up, people
cannot be neglected and can get a lot of experiences.
In this regard, I hold that a wide variety of knowledge is
better than deep knowledge.
