Jumping between activities won’t make you remotely successful in any of them.
The people that are successful find something and continue doing it, often from a very young age.
I don’t have the mindset to devote my life to anything in concrete.
What do you think?
I think you have a point.
I started learning classical guitar when I was 16 years old and then got sz and quit. I picked it back up every now and then for periods of time throughout the years but really wanted to do popular music except I was stuck up doing classical. Finally a few years ago I started learning the blues. But I really like classical best. Had I learned rock and roll as a boy I would have loved it but that’s because rock and roll is simple.
Hmm I think you’re right but it also depends on what it is. Some things are more complex and takes more time to fully learn. But I agree and also about young age, maybe it has something to do with the brain being more plastic when you’re young so you learn better. (also ofc that you spend more time on it)
Don’t you play musical instruments? Is that because you started at a young age?
Yeah I started at 8 y.o., but nowadays they are a hobbie sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. I’m two or three years away of daily practise to feel like I can be a professional tbh. The bar is pretty high for jazz/classical nowadays because they are approved titles in an univ.
I just don’t want to do that anymore. I’m focusing a lot on health nowadays.
All of the things I’m doing now – with the exception of writing as a hobby – are things that I couldn’t really go deep into at a young age because of how poor we were. Some of the tech didn’t exist at that time, either. Current fixations:
I’m proficient with all of the above because I have put a lot of time and effort into learning and practicing them with the exception of VR exercise. Long covid has knocked me back and I’m trying to regain my footing there. I have only been doing 5-7 in the last ten years. No. 8 only for the last two years.
I have been financially rewarded by writing and photography when I did them professionally. Now I just find them rewarding to do. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having multiple interests.
Edit: Can’t decide if cooking was financially rewarding or not. The pay was crap and the career was cut short by an injury a few years in. I’m not even sure where my chef papers got to.
I’ll devote my life to feathers because concrete is too heavy.
I have been working on cars since I was 12. Forty years later still at it.
I tried crochet when I was young but never had the head for it until I was an adult but y’all seem to think I do amazing with it
