A lot of people today develop additional skills during their free time. Some people prefer to develop complementary skills that are related to and may enhance their full-time jobs. Others prefer to develop skills that are not related to their jobs, such as skills that can give people opportunities to have creativity and better self-expression. Which do you prefer to develop and why?
Nowadays, living in a society full of fierce competition, many people express concerns about what is supposed to be the crucial element that improves our overall quality. Some people advocate that we should foster skills and abilities related to our full-time job, while others hold the reverse viewpoint that unrelated skills are more beneficial to our life and career. As far as I am concerned, I render my support to the latter idea, and what I believe can be substantiated as follows.
First, developing skills and abilities unrelated to our job delivers benefits to our life satisfaction. In the process of civilization, people are enduring more and more pressure caused by life and work. Many people are enslaved by the exhaustion resulting from tedious work and some of them are even at the edge of mental collapse. At this moment, hobbies having nothing to do with job affairs prompt individuals to establish a balance between life and work. To illustrate, workers are capable of drawing paintings, playing musical instruments, and doing some workouts after work, unwinding and refreshing themselves. One of my friends, Lucy, entered one of consulting companies listed in the Fortune 500 after graduation. She suffers from the pressure of working and earning money. After her regular work time, she chooses to swim to relax herself. Immersing in the water, she readily retrieves the peace of life.
In addition, just because the skills and abilities are not relevant to the full-time job does not mean that they are not treasured by society and companies. Our society values creativity, expression, and cooperation. Although some skills may not directly facilitate the work at hand, they may function well when people are getting to grips with new opportunities and risks emerging from modernization. For example, I work as a clerk in a company, dealing with some paperwork. However, I would like to invest my spare time in learning programming just because it is intriguing to me. I spared no effects to improve my ability, and one day when I found a wonderful chance that our company decided to develop our own computer system, my skills stood out. I grasped that opportunity and contributed to the project, eventually leading to my career promotion.
Admittedly, learning some skills directly related to our full-time job is conducive to our career development on the spot, and we can grasp a more comprehensive understanding of our current job and think more systematically. But it is undeniable that in the long term, these extra hard workings may shatter work-life balance, enlarging our work time and enormously leading to burnout. These deficiencies cannot be compensated by appropriate means with ease. In this case, the merits of studying diversified and manifold skills, which release our stress and prepare us to face potential risks and challenges, ought to be emphasized.
In a nutshell, since our society keeps developing, being equipped with various skills will still matter in the future. Learning knowledge and skills unrelated to our full-time job not only enhances our overall quality but also paves the path for us to succeed in the future.
