Its been sometime since I have written a blog. Apologies if you were waiting for one, Apologies to people who hate my blogs. Can't change, old habits die hard. Small Update: I have been busy with my studies (Lie!!). Honestly, I have been too lazy and bored of studies. As well as searching for next challenging opportunity (Simply put: JOB!)
This blog is about my opinions. I have seen people like my blogs at the same time some hate it! I love both the emotions. Everyday I have been talking to people over my credentials and ability to perform for them. However, people ask why particular field you are interested? And people advice me to be flexible!! I am sure, you must have heard this many times during your career discussions. People ask you to be flexible! Meaning "Be ready to work in any stream rather than a particular field!!".
I thought about this FLEXIBILITY! and came up with " THE TRIPLE threat MODEL (TTtM)". What the hell am I talking about? does it make sense? (Its my opinion! Not all my opinions make sense! nor they should matter!). What does the TTtM talk about? Who is it about? Its about people, meaning you, me and everyone in this world. All the people in this world can be categorized into THREE different groups. This is a Strict Career based grouping.
The FIRST group is made up of all the people who are interested to do just one thing in life, meaning they have a clear focus on a particular field and just could not get their focus off that area of interest and want to get expertise. This group would not accept anything but working in that area or job opportunities in that particular field only and not look beyond it.
The SECOND group of people are those who are interested in gaining expertise in a particular field but are fine with working in any field either related to core area or unrelated. They are fine with diversification, as this helps them broaden the horizon. They are not fixated about working in any particular field even though they have substantial expertise or they aspire to gain substantial expertise in one field of interest.
The THIRD group is one which does not have interest in any one field, however is fine to work in any field irrespective of what it is, as they don't have a focused interest. Its fine. This group is quite complacent about gaining expertise or not! they are also happy with what they have!!!
I wondered after writing this!! So what the hell I want to say??? What is the conclusion??
Why do people choose either of the THREE GROUPs in life? There is one word to the whole of this blog, Its called "INSECURITY (threat of TTtM)". The first group is INSECURE of moving away from one particular field, bcos they feel they have expertise and fear of being unsuccessful if they diversify. The second group feels the same but in the opposite way. This group feels INSECURE about the expertise it has on one particular field and feels the need to diversify in order to succeed. Finally, the third group, knows that they do not have expertise in one particular field nor they are fine with diversification. This INSECURITY makes them quite a generalists of sorts meaning they are fine with field!!! When looked at more seriously this differentiation across the world keeps the world in Balance similar to the Vegetarians and Non-vegetarians argument!!!
Its my Opinion!!
