Stay hungry, stay foolish. When I heard this sentence from Steve jobs at Stanford graduation speech, I totally agreed his belief. Most of Students used to focus on their major subjects during university years. In the long run, if you think you are a person who always feel hungry and foolish about knowledge and decide to absorbed it as possible as you can, you will see that is most wise desicion in your life. Because, thanks to having knowledge you can good at work as well as your field of study and a broad understading in various field make you to be a distinguishing expert.
First, those who having amount of knowledgs by attending a wide range of courses in university years are cottributed to their work or other activities rather than concentrating on particular field. Especially,in this comperative business world, lots of companies would require people who adapt to properly and lead to success their project under any unfamiliar situation. In this case, if more and more knowledges you have help you to solve the problem. For example, when I worked at piano pedagogy institute as a researcher, I had to write a piano history book for young children. In fact , at that time that project was too much burdened for me and I even hestiated to whether do it or reject it.
However, I could recall that I already had so much understanding about that field through attending many academic subjects. Consequently, I did make a distiquishing book since the institued have made.
Most importantly, having various knowledges from academic courses can chance to be a more excellent expert rather than digging into one specific field of study. Sometimes, students tend to avoid a few subjects not related to their major field. Because they think it is timeconsuming and also rarely impact on your job career. In some aspects, it might be true. However, If your want to reach in a real top positon or achieve a creative work in your field, the story has changed. A few months ago, I saw the very touching speech in Oprah Winfrey show about professor Randy pausch who was strugged with pancreatic canser. When he was young boy, his dream was to be a imaginator at Dieney company. However,after he rejected several time from that company, he continued to study very harder in other field with hope. Surprisingly, he renowned in his field, Disney company offered him to work as an imaginator. I am not trying to say with you dream, some day you will come ture. He didnot aware of when he worked as professor,he would think that his field of study is the opposite with the original dream, even opposite fields were linked to each other. He look like turing a long way to achieve his dream, through that varioud expriences, he was to be an more spcial expert in his field.
