第2055期：你想做哪个 Jack？

假期里做了一次反省，算一个自我 stock-taking吧。

梳理了一下今年至今手头在做而一直没做出结果的几件事，决定舍弃其中几件。想做的事太多，时间和耐心不够，很多事开了头就成了鸡肋，不想放弃，又进展不得。

不如果断放弃一些，确定一个主线，集中精力把一两件要紧的事做到极致。

英文里有个词可以形容这种状态：dabble

To dabble is to dip a foot or hand briefly into a liquid. 手脚短促地蘸水这个动作就叫 dabble，可以比喻人对某件事肤浅的尝试，中文就叫“涉猎”。

这个假期集中阅读John C. Maxwell先生的几本关于 leadership 的经典书，昨天正为自己涉猎太广而苦恼时，恰好读到下面这段话：

“Some people like to dabble. The problem with dabbling is that you never really become great at anything.

If you study the lives of great men and women, you will find that they were very single-minded. Once you have found what you were created to do, stick with it.” – JOHN C. MAXWELL

定期review，对自己想做和在做的事不断清理和扫除，确定主要目标，加倍努力——这是这个假期我最大的收获。

你是想做一个 Jack of all trades, master of none 还是 Jack of few trades focused on one?
