Contrary to the longboard theory, there is also the barrel theory-how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest board. In the industrial age, this theory is really effective. However, in the global Internet era, this theory has long been "outdated".
Just like today's companies really don't need to be proficient in everything, if the finance is not professional enough, they can hire an accounting firm with more advantages than themselves; If there is a shortage of human resources, you can hire headhunters or human resources consulting agencies.
If the market and public relations are shortcomings, there are a large number of excellent advertising companies tailored for you;
Contemporary companies only need to have a long enough board of directors and a manager with "full barrel" consciousness, so they can fill the shortcomings through cooperation.
It's the same for individuals. You don't need to spend a lot of time on the short board, you can maximize your longboard. It's no use trying to be a perfect person, because:
First, the thinking of migrant workers
Looking back at some people around me, I heard more: "I also want to learn/have (even if I don't know whether I will use it in the future)" than: "I can cooperate with him (her) to finish ...", but migrant workers never think:
1, input-output ratio.
How much time, energy and money will it take me to learn this thing? Can I accept the worst result in the end? If not, can I change my mind and cooperate with each other to achieve my goal?
2. Is it helpful for your career planning?
I remember Tu Yansong once said, "We need to know what we want to do, we need to know what we want to do, but we can't do anything."
A famous person also said something similar: "If we have to make a choice, first choose what we should do, and then choose what we like to do."
I also want to have my own music room, which is full of drum sets, electronic keyboards and guitars. This is something I like to do very much. But at present, all kinds of conditions are not allowed, so I have to do what I should do first to support myself. After marriage, I can do what I like, because what I like to do will not directly and greatly help my career planning, nor will it bring me income for a long time. I will give up for a long time.
Second, time and energy are limited.
I know from the Book of Magistrates, Tik Tok and Biography that if you want to achieve something in a certain field, you must have 5- 10 years of continuous learning and experience accumulation in this field.
The growth path of the protagonist in the Book of Magistrates is generally: crossing the river by feeling the stones in the first two or three years, learning and innovating continuously for four to five years, having a stable source of customers and being trusted by customers, and then learning and innovating cooperative business models in the later period, and then surpassing competitors and stabilizing the market position.
Tens of millions of fans of Tik Tok, their skills and abilities have been precipitated for a long time, and then they became popular with this platform. Li Ziqi, Sister Taozhong in Shu …
The business leaders we know are all the same: Ma Yun, Ma Hua Teng, Wei Wang, Lei Jun ...
If we want to learn everything and have everything, we are nothing. A little water can't bring us value, but it needs us to cultivate deeply in a certain field for 5- 10 years.
I feel very deeply at work now. It is not easy to learn two things after work. I arrange my working hours every day like this:
Working over 10 hour.
Only 3-4 hours is my own study time.
If I want to learn everything, I want to study for 10 years, and I won't achieve anything, but at most it's money.
I like less is more very much, which is the core guiding ideology of my career choice and time management.
Why do you say that if you stick to 10 years in a favorite industry, you will have your own opportunities?
1, with a deep understanding of the industry. Only when the cognition is in place can we predict the future trend of the industry and the market situation, and have our own unique operational logic in many aspects, so as to make big money.
2. Resources, contacts, technology and money have accumulated to some extent.
3. There will be a new round of good market in 10. Just like in the second half of 2020, peppers can be on an equal footing with pork.
