gaining mastery in multiple fields ?

3 posts in this topic

its been a while since ive posted lol.

Obviously we should be aiming to master certain facets of our life such as relationships , health , emotions , meditation ...

but when it comes to career type things , i have a lot of interests such as entrepreneurship , neuroscience , art , engineering , industrial design , psychology etc...

I'm working on making my vision and purpose more clear but for now i think i want to either get involved with developing neuroscience technology / engineering or perhaps combine that with entrepreneurship in some way. The basic idea is i love to use my creativity to either invent products or new designs.

So would it be a good idea to immerse myself in all of these subjects or just to focus on one ? because obviously if i focus on one i would improve dramatically at that one area but at the same time i kind of want to learn it all and maybe combine it together into a career , but im worried that if i do it like that my focus will be too diffused and i won't really achieve mastery in any of those subjects, i'd like to add i'm naturally gifted with logical subjects like science and maths and at the same time i'm naturally gifted at art as well and i love doing both. Perhaps find or create a career that would combine the two?

I found this video insightful:

 


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

@Xin Yeah I'm like this as well. I see too many interests. I used to purely love math/physics. Now I have a very complex love-hate relationship with math. I've become a lot more "right brained" as I've aged. Now its like, I want to get good at drawing, piano and writing. It's so bizarre. I was terrible at English in school. And whilst my spelling is still bad, through the act of just talking to people about things I find interesting I've improved my ability to communicate a lot. It's nowhere near amazing or high percentile, but it's a lot better than it used to be. Which was far below average. 

Also, good video Leo.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.
