How to Choose Your Area
This note is reprinted from my flomo app.
The Importance of a Field: It is the foundation of personal success, requiring continuous improvement and a willingness to take on responsibilities.
The Challenge of PKM (Personal Knowledge Management): Choosing your own field.
The Difficulties in Choosing a Field:
- The “One-Size-Fits-All” Mentality: Focusing solely on “standard answers” while ignoring your inner desires.
- Greed: Attempting to learn everything but mastering nothing.
- Inertia: Failing to make timely changes in outdated fields.
Principles for Choosing a Field: Be honest with yourself and set your course based on your own stars, not the lights of past ships.
- Have a passionate commitment to your field, regardless of the rewards.
- Focus on creation rather than consumption in your field.
