Let's popularize what a slash is first.
The so-called "slash youth" refers to young people with multiple professional identities. In a narrow sense, slash youth only refers to people who specialize in many fields, such as photographers/media operators/freelance writers/cafe owners; Slash youth in a broad sense has crossed the boundaries of professional activities, including diversified lifestyles and diversified value choices, such as such identity signs: company executives/lawyers/floral trainers/socialites/volunteer activity organizers.
Baidu Encyclopedia says: Slash youth comes from English slash, and it comes from the book "Double Occupation" written by The New York Times columnist marek Alber. It refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities.
Although the word "slash youth" was put forward late, the concept of slash youth has long appeared. It can be said that slash youth is not only the reference of occupational diversity, but also the crown of compound talents.
There are many famous slash youths in history, such as:
Lu Xun's professional identity is: writer/lecturer/civil servant/editor;
Leonardo da Vinci (whose most famous work is Mona Lisa) has more identities: painter/sculptor/inventor/philosopher/musician/doctor/biologist/geographer/architectural engineer/fable/military engineer, which can be said to be "slash master"!
Benjamin Franklin (yes, the man who often uses kites to lure thunder in our primary school textbooks) is an American politician, physicist, publisher, printer, journalist, writer and philanthropist. He is also an outstanding diplomat and inventor.
In this beautiful era, the threshold of becoming a slash may be the lowest period in history, and everyone can start a slash career anytime and anywhere.
Maybe many people, like me, will be very excited when they see this word and hear this concept, thinking that this is what I want. Well, then what? Then what?
Before I started writing, I always thought I had some ink in my stomach and was arrogant, but after I started, I found out that this stock was not worth mentioning at all. I always thought I was a slash youth, but I never started to act. I didn't think about what to do next to become a slash, and even said that I was a slash without really understanding what a slash was.
Before saying that you are a slash youth, it is necessary to deepen your understanding of slash youth.
Since the birth of slash youth, it has caused different comments from people in the industry. Some people think that the slash youth will become a "mixed youth" who is not doing anything, or a "blind youth" who is hammering one thing at a time; Others think that the title of "slash" is just to show off the professional aura, and the professional label of "slash" is a "fig leaf" to cover up your failure.
The author thinks that these views are biased because of the lack of understanding of the true nature and professional value of slash youth. It is true that not everyone is suitable to be a slash youth in reality, but the essence of slash youth lies in realizing a deeper understanding of self, exploring a diversified life and living an ideal life with interests and skills.
It is also a more reliable life choice for slash youth to focus on the main business, use the network platform and information technology to broaden their career horizons, and gain the possibility of various sideline businesses under the inspiration of analogy, so as to give consideration to both the main and the deputy, complement each other's advantages, and become a slash talent suitable for themselves, the workplace and the society.
The true slash youth belongs to multifunctional or multifunctional type.
All roads lead to Rome, and everyone's path will not be exactly the same. In fact, the author is crossing the river by feeling the stones now. On the way to being a slash, we are all white.
In fact, there is no road on the ground. If there are more people walking, it will become a road. (Lu Xun's hometown)
The following are some explorations and efforts made by the author in becoming a slash for your reference. May we walk out of our own sunshine avenue.
(1) Become a search expert and a tool expert.
Search ability is a compulsory skill in the Internet age. 80% of life's questions have been answered, just search, and the remaining 20% still need to be studied. In the Internet age, search skills are more important. "
You know, in the past, it was very troublesome to acquire a new knowledge. It may be necessary to consult the seniors to consult books. Now, you can get the corresponding information anytime and anywhere through a search box. All the knowledge before human beings is there for you to consult at any time. It can be said that search is one of the best tools of this era. It's a pity if you don't know how useful it is.
Suggestion: information literacy: a new engine to improve efficiency and lifelong learning
In this era, information is wealth, skills are advantages, strengths can be distinguished, and hard work will pay off.
(2) Writing, continuous writing
Those who don't often work as a pen must have a strong memory, those who don't often discuss must be brilliant, and those who don't often read must deceive the world. bacon
If you have no talent and can't cheat, then you must write.
In the practice of writing, I choose not to write, otherwise I will be out.
Being 007 is a lucky thing, because a group of like-minded comrades grew up together.
(C) to do their own main business
No matter what you do, the first priority to become a slash is to do your main business well. If you can't even do your main business well, won't you become an idle "mixed youth"? Or should I say, to do a good job in your main business is actually to polish your expertise and be a person with long expertise.
In the main business, the author is still exploring. If you have any good suggestions, you are welcome to write privately.
The above is the author's immature thinking, and I sincerely hope that everyone will criticize and correct me.
