Because people are so busy doing many different things, they do only few things well |
Some people say that people of this generation can do well many different things. However, I agree that population who live in this society are able to do only few things well for two reasons. First, they have to do too many things. Second, the society requires us to be multi-player rather than an artisan.
Most of all, we don’t have any options whether do one thing or many things but do everything. The main reason is that we have to do a great deal of things in order to keep up with others. Let me take a personal example. All of my friends have a TOEIC score above least 800. Not only have they a English score, but also the Chinese character 2nd grade qualification and a few more computer related licenses. I am sure that they spent a great deal of time and efforts to get these ones so that they can be more compatible in job market. However, they never become a expert in any areas because they could not focus on one thing. This shows that people has little chance to do well one thing. Moreover, the society needs a multi-player rather than an artisan. To be specific, when it comes to people’s requirements, it’s totally defense between the past and this times. Just few decades ago we could see a lot of artisans’ skillful products such as; the pottery, the painting, the furniture. On the other hand, these days we don’t look for those products. Besides, people they want to get a variety factions stuffs. For instance, when the cell-phone came out first, people only want to call, but now we want to use like a computer. Moreover, In terms of soccer game, last days we like a player who is the best in one’s position. However, nowadays the director and audience want a performer to be a multiple- player. Thus, people don’t acknowledge someone if one is the best only in one’s position. In conclusion, of course, there are just a few people can do a lot of things perfectly. However, I agree with the idea that people cannot do it well anything because of two reasons which I mentioned above. |
