I think with the great access to information and all kinds of things, I and many others struggle to find a balance in our own lives. I know what I'm good at in my job and career but at the same time I would certainly like to hone in and refine that, to become stronger in my own personal craft but I am unsure if I should or if I should branch out into different areas. It might be an affect of the digitization of a lot of the things we do for work now. I was very good at my previous role, branching things I trained in for years with people who had little or no exposure to that side of the job. Now although I'm still working in a related sector of the industry, I feel more detached than I did and I think this is definitely a product of the internet. It's great to have all kinds of information and things at our fingertips but it's hard to manage it all and still maintain ourselves.
Thankfully as far as Hive I would say that I'm pretty closely matched with how I am in real life. I'm not some super aggressive person looking for a tamed down persona, nor the opposite. Just a dude with some fun passions and looking to make a mark in this wild and twisty journey that is life! Professionally, I'm still searching for the corner that I can fit in to this whole thing. I know I'll get there, it's just a little sketchy sometimes lol
I think so too. The cost of "knowledge" has come down, therefore, so has the value of getting it. On top of this, it is always available to anyone, so there is very little value in having it on hand and, it is all generic, no matter how specialized it is. If your skills are available all over the internet for free, anyone can be you. I think this affects our own engagement with our lives, devaluing who we are -even in our own eyes.
You come across this way to me too :)
