People who develop many different skills are more successful than people who focus on one skill only.

Wishing to help children embrace a promising future, lots of parents send their kids to learn extra courses, hoping them to foster different skills. This phenomenon also sparks a heated debate weather people should develop various skills or just focus on one skill.A bulk of people state that specializing one skill will make people more professional, which has more advantages. From my perspective, however, developing diversified skills is much better. I am going to elaborate this point in the following paragraphs.

Firstly, mastering lots of skills gives people competitive edge when they hunt jobs, which leads to a good start of their successful career. As is known to us all, due to the fierce social competition, people find it more difficult to find their desirable jobs. Since employers of large corporations often receive tremendous resumes for a particular position, they tend to be very picky and improve their expectation to find the most outstanding talent.

Secondly, people with different skills are more likely to have a broaden friend circle, which will create more opportunities to become successful. That is to say, people mingle with others who have the same interest. By doing that, they can have common chatting topics or even get suggestions or help from each other. If a person can grasp different skills, he may have more opportunities to take part in different groups, which is very critical to be successful.

Takes Huang Bo, a famous Chinese movie star, who wins lots of movie awards as an example. Although Huang Bo didn’t perform well in school and didn’t have a good educational background, he was still very popular among students because he could sing and dance well. He once said in a talk show that he lived a tough life after graduation, but he had many friends who always contacted him and introduced him to directors so he could have the opportunities to shoot movies.

To recap, from what I have been discussed above, we can safely draw a conclusion that people who develop many different skills are more successful.
