Be Careful From The Life Purpose Trap!

[Spiritjunkie]

Be careful on the road with your life purpose. Don't think ahead of your time. Always live in the now and expand your senses.

Don't get caught up only focus on one topic. If you want to cure cancer for example, should you only focus on human biology and medicine to find the cure? No, you might locate the answer when you study Astrology. Maybe you find a planet that has a molecule that rotates counter to cancer molecules and is anti-fungal. 

Conclusion: Don't focus on ONE domain.

yes, some people find it easier to just stick with one road, and at the beginning of your road you don't have much experiences, so it is always advisable to have more than one choice and what if that happen what would you do.

but in the same time ... don't give up on you purpose quickly if you truly believed in it, it is kinda of a trade-of situation, how much does this purpose worth in your eyes, for example i always dreamed when i was young to become a great programmer, a super hero kind of programmer i mind you, and before i even learn how to do any of that i was always asking my teachers in intermediate schools and high schools what does programmers take and which materials should the be good at, because my schools at that time (and i believe still now) never taught about computers in schools at that time, nor at this time, their is a curriculum for it but it is a joke, and instructors weren't educated in that field in the first place, they didn't know so they have the same answer: Math.

well Math, in the other hand, is quite advance in my country, we studied Calculus I in second year high school, yes, and we, the average students, were really sux at it and i hated it, i couldn't get those advance applied integral stuff in the last year of high school, even when i went to collage i was suspicion and started to believe that math doesn't have to do anything with computer science, but in the same time didn't gave up trying to become better in math.

in time, i found the answer that no one could give me, science are all based on logic, proof, variables transition\manipulations, and making a way to study and evolve systems in the same fields to find solutions for problems (well the applied sciences at least for the last part, not theoretical ones). when you learn in one science you almost learn in all of them, because all of them educate you how to analyze, think, observe, experiment, test and make prototypes as a scientist, they might do the same exact things but in different names, orders, and terms to suit the specific filed.

the reason why don't tell you that is because human have a weird instinct ... even though some believe humans have no instincts ... but hey that's what i believe at least, humans for some reasons doesn't like large changes, it reject it immediately, a dramatic shock, change of believe, or learn a new thing is too much to the brain, the bigger these new ideas, the larger the chance that the brain will try to refuse it and make excuses to avoid opening that door, what i am talking about that if you never thought about that and you find what i am talking about in here is completely rabish then there is only two cases: 1- what i just said was true. 2- what you think about what i said is true .....

for some reasons i hope it is the first <_<

I don't think there is a clear cut "superior" between mastering a specific domain or being a generalist.  For the sake of leveraging an economic advantage (in the US) economy, I'd opt for specializing. I think collectively it is important that there are both types of people.
