The word "slash youth" was particularly popular a few years ago. Many people feel that they have finally found their identity and regard slash youth as their goal. When we look at a person's introduction, we sometimes find that his occupation is no longer a single name, but is divided into several heads by diagonal lines, such as actor/director/singer, CEO/ association president/honorary professor and so on. However, the social evaluation of slash youth is mixed.

People who agree that "slash youth" is a positive way of career development. Young people are no longer confined to careers they don't like. Although they need this job to support their families, if their hobbies don't match their current jobs, they should actively develop their hobbies as a sideline. As long as you have expertise, it will be valuable. It is a good way to solve other people's problems with your own strength.

People who disagree think that "slash youth" is an unspecified behavior, because life and energy are limited in the world. It is difficult for him to achieve anything if he divides his limited energy into many fields. A person should be a professional and an expert, which will promote his career development and make more contributions to the country and society.

In my opinion, both the positive and negative aspects are reasonable, only for the same fact. Different positions lead to different views. But the year before last, during the epidemic, I read several books by Taleb, including Black Swan and Anti-Fragility, which changed my neutral attitude. With the changes of things around me, I strengthened my view that I should be a slash youth. Slash youth is to equip themselves with an anti-fragile structure and be able to resist risks.

So, what events during the epidemic period made you think this way? That's a low-end brand belonging to the same business unit. Because of poor performance last year, more than 50 people only earned more than 20 million. According to the strategic adjustment and business performance, the company decided to terminate the labor contracts of more than 50 people. Although there is a good salary, it is still difficult to find a suitable job in a short time under the conditions at that time, just like a foreign company. Everything depends on the actual business performance. We can't change the environment, but can we?

Whether it is the career development of enterprises or individuals, it is best to establish an anti-fragile structure. For example, Huawei has a blue army and a red army, and the two armies can confront each other. At the same time, they invest heavily in R&D and innovation every year, and even set up Hess. All in order to achieve an anti-fragile business model. At the same time, personal career development should be the same. In addition to the normal commuting time, you should use your business time to read more books and study, improve your cognitive level and business ability, and cultivate your business hobbies. If you develop to a certain extent, you can also realize your business skills or try to start your own business, so you can have more choices.

There used to be only professionals; At present, compound talents are the future, and slash youth is one of the manifestations of compound talents.
