David Epstein : Why specializing early doesn't always mean career success

David Epstein·TEDxManchester

Why specializing early doesn’t always mean career success

Summary

I have to read the story because I've strongly believed the 10,000 hours rule when l study English.

However, you try a variety of physical activities, gain broad and general skills, learn about your interests and abilities, and when you learn something of specialty after that, you seem to succeed in your career.

Furthermore, you avoid "wicked learning environments", when you could merge things with different domains, your success will appear soon.

For example, even if l wouldn’t study English for 10,000 hours, if l study basic knowledge broadly, continue having internets of studying, and when l study a field of specialty,  will I succeed!? 

It’ll be important to combine to study with better environments, teachers, teams, and friends. It’s not too late!

The speaker tells us about the development of human potential.

Because of coronavirus spreading, the economy is standing still around the world. Among them, thinking about human potential must be a better thing for us.
