We are all brought up accepting that a man can only achieve one thing to a level of expertise. When he attempts more than that, he betrays the weakness of usefulness. Man is not perfect and must not struggle against fate. He may have various inclinations and aspirations but he must only select one if he hopes to succeed. He may have a passion to learn several instruments, but he must disregard those multiple urges and work on learning one instrument alone and do his best on it. It is then he can solely focus till he achieves perfection.

Have you ever seen a perfect man? Someone who has the perfect look, life, stability, knowledge, resourcefulness, it’s impossible to be true? A perfect man is so rare he may be looked upon with suspicion once he materializes. No one can be that perfect. What is his background? Where did he come from? His parents? Where did he study? Etc. Even the wise renaissance man had their quirks, so who would say there is such a perfect being.

If a man deals vigorously with affairs and does not give a damn about art, religion or science, for others to enjoy, he is perceived as a strong, sound, wise and a normal individual. But if a man has the knowledge, love and skill for storytelling, he is perfectly honest and trustworthy, genuinely religious and observant of everything, has a good impression on science as well, he is supposed as a superficial individual.

A man in business often turns a deaf ear on art. If he writes prose, he must not permit his love for verse to overshadow poetry. If he uses pen, he must not use his voice. If he attempts to learn two languages (excluding his native tongue) at the same time, he would only be confused in communicating. Sometimes, man is confused that despite the vitality of mind and inspiration he feels, it seems there is an unknown force compelling him to do only one thing. As if man does not have the right to explore everything he wants.

Specialization had become a focus of today’s modern society. Man today goes to college to master one field of knowledge. If he did not enter or complete his education, his initial job would entail him to focus on a set of tasks, thus learning one profession, step-by-step, and in the long run may earn him a position in that same path of career.
