What if you have a wide range of hobbies?

Lose interest and curiosity

I lost many opportunities to enrich myself.

In the course of architectural feng shui, I met a post-95 college student.

He often sends some cases and feelings in the group, and his words all show a particularly active and studious spirit.

He is a student majoring in landscape design. By chance, he fell in love with architectural feng shui and signed up for a course.

Of course, many students around him expressed their incomprehension of his behavior.

However, he believes that Feng Shui is a discipline that integrates aesthetics, environmentalism, geography and Yijing. It is a culture that has been circulating for thousands of years. You can combine your own major and add reasonable garden design on the basis of Feng Shui planning.

So he followed his interest and signed up for this course without hesitation.

One day later, I posted a method to change the sub-health state of my body in my circle of friends. After seeing it, he practiced on time and shared his physical feelings with me. Before that, many people didn't even open this link.

He is curious, keeps a keen interest in things and tries new things with an open mind. In the process of constantly trying, he will naturally judge and accumulate.

However, in reality, many people, like his classmates, have no idea about what they like and have never made positive changes. It is unreasonable to see other people's behaviors different from their own.

They feel confused and confused, but refuse to try, so the world in their eyes is only that big, and the world outlook must be narrow and mediocre.

Extensive interests come from your curiosity, and your attempts and explorations are expanding and filling your world.

On the contrary, if you refuse to try something you don't know, you will lose the opportunity to explore and enrich yourself.

The more things you touch.

The greater the probability of something good happening.

I saw a topic on the Internet. What hobbies have changed your life?

A girl said that she liked painting five years ago, so she slowly tried pen drawing and watercolor painting. Draw a few pictures every month, then she likes photography, skiing, sewing and so on. , have tried but didn't stick to it.

Seeing this, you may think that this is the nature of many people, who are only passionate about things for three minutes.

But even so, it is commendable that she dares to listen to her heart and try to find the connection between the two and find her own starting point.

So it's backwards. A year ago, she made a thousand-layer cake, which was well received by her friends. Since then, it has been out of control.

Later, she developed all kinds of cakes by herself, and incorporated special things into various processes such as color, ingredients and types.

These characteristics and inspiration come from her previous research on aesthetics and her experience in painting, photography and design.

Making cakes became her great interest at this stage and gradually became a career.

Everyone's interests are within their own talent range, and they are not fixed. You may not be able to judge whether something is your greatest interest in a short time, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you can discover and dig slowly.

This process is a process of accumulation and experience, and every step will not be in vain.

What makes you who you are now is a collection of all your previous interests, passions, thoughts and actions, and quality thoughts and actions must be based on strong interests.

The so-called thick accumulation and thin hair, if she did not make extensive attempts and explorations in aesthetics, painting, photography and other aspects, her cake development may lack characteristics and inspiration.

It is this multi-faceted accumulation that gave birth to her inspiration at a suitable time and became her career out of control.

For example, I am writing. If I don't try to write, even if there is a platform like new media, my thoughts still exist in my mind and it is difficult to jump to paper.

Therefore, the more things a person touches, the greater the probability that he will encounter good things, and the greater the influence of these good things on him, so that he can quickly determine what can achieve his true self.

People who remain open have countless possibilities in life, and those who refuse to try will never take a long-term view.

Society needs more and more professionals.

But what is really valuable is the generalist.

Slash youth is one of the most popular hot words in recent two years. It refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities.

For example, someone can wear many hats: photographer/flower arranging teacher. ...

Wan Weigang wrote in the book:

The division of labor in society is getting finer and finer, and more and more professionals are needed, but what is really valuable is generalists, especially leadership positions.

A survey selected the resumes of 4,500 CEOs and found that they held more than 35,000 positions. Whether this person is an expert or a generalist is investigated through the diversification of positions. The results show that generalists are more popular, and the average salary of generalists is higher than that of professionals 19%.

Jobs once said that if he changed his profession, he would become a poet. He believes that the reason why Apple can speak with people is because there is a humanistic spirit hidden in their innovation.

This diversified thinking, which combines humanities and science, has produced great creativity.

As a philosopher, Zhou also said:

Many things in the humanities field are interlinked, and only on a broad basis can we have high-quality majors. For example, many writers have rich philosophical and historical accumulation. If a poet has no philosophical temperament, then his poems will appear dry and empty. If a philosopher has no poetic temperament, most of his works will be obscure and blunt.

I have a classmate who has different majors in undergraduate, master and general knowledge, and is also employed in different directions after graduation. He constantly strengthens his learning ability of drawing inferences from others in his study and work.

When others were puzzled, a company hired him as a technical manager at a high salary because they just lacked generalists in these fields.

Seeing this, you may envy their multiple identities and skills. But please note that this is only a superficial phenomenon.

On the surface, these people can switch multiple identities at will. In fact, their real advantage lies in their ability to keep learning and updating, and they can always capture the connections between different fields according to their own interests, thus expanding their horizons and cultivating strong thinking and problem-solving skills.

Cultivate interest

Is to cultivate the ability to love life.

Many people want to be slash youths just to pursue labels and salaries. But what is a real slash?

As Cheng Jia said, slash is the result, not the cause.

That is to say, the original intention of slash youth is to broaden their horizons, understand the world, develop their potential and enjoy life, not to learn various skills for more money-making channels.

They don't know when a skill is useful and when it can be used. But with enthusiasm for the world, starting from interest, exercise thinking, improve the mind, and take the field of study as a system to upgrade cognition.

In today's words, Liang Qichao is a super slash youth, a thinker/educator/historian/writer ..... He attaches great importance to interest.

Someone asked him, "What is the basis of your outlook on life?"

He replied:

Based on interest, ordinary people must live in interest forever, and life is valuable. Everything I do often fails. Strictly speaking, there is no failure. However, I always fail at the same time, because I feel interesting not only in success, but also in failure.

He despises worldly fame and achievements and focuses on the joy of life. Here, interest has become his necessity and his life value.

Interest keeps people young, regardless of age limit.

Maintaining a strong interest in things is not only reflected in how many skills or specialties you have, but its greater value lies in giving you a strong sense of life, instead of numbly consuming time day after day, gradually indulging in daily life and making life fresh and interesting.

Wu's interest lies in your diversified thinking.

And broaden your horizons.

Liang Qichao not only pays attention to the interest of life, but also respects children's interests and personalities and guides them to realize themselves.

His children have done very well in different fields, and three of the nine children have become academicians.

Liang Sicheng, the eldest son, is an architect with an international vision and a visiting professor at Princeton University.

Liang Sicheng repeatedly asked the government to save the Tuancheng in Beihai and the wall of Beijing, knowing that they are the treasures of the Chinese nation.

As an intellectual, he has always maintained academic loyalty. He has been to many places in the world and is rich in knowledge. He witnessed the mistakes of many countries and learned from the experience of some developed countries.

So he can see the future direction of the city more clearly, and know what is the most distinctive culture and what is the best thing for China.

Lin also begged to keep Yongdingmen. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "You will regret it one day if you tear down the real antique now, so you can only make a fake antique." However, her plea was invalid, and the real antiques were finally ruthlessly demolished.

Some cultural relics experts say that if this ancient city can be preserved to this day, it will be the only historical and cultural city in the world that can be completely preserved, with the largest scale and the most magnificent momentum. Even today's Paris and Rome are hard to reach.

Later, the Yongdingmen Gate Tower was rebuilt, and as Lin said, it can only be a fake antique.

This is the difference between opening and closing, and it is also a contest between pluralism and singleness. Interest is the starting point for a person to have diversified thinking and broaden his horizons.

Diversified thinking and broad vision make it easier for a person to have strategic thinking, distinguish between good and bad, and be more satisfied with being himself.

This self is not a second-best self, but a more suitable, more secure and more confident self.

Maybe you are feeling useless at this time, because you are not interested in anything, you are at a loss, or even bored.

You have to understand, maybe you are not interested in anything, just don't touch it.

Then try to explore. After you have accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience, seen more things and broadened your horizons, you can easily find what you like and suit, and you can be satisfied with being a better yourself.
