“To be, or not to be: that is the question”

Some people like to spend their lives doing monotonous things while others believe that change is always a good thing especially when it comes to building one’s career .It may be safer to do the same things our entire lives, perfecting the skill and craft in our area of expertise sans risk and uncertainty but is it worth the time, when we have a lot of opportunities up for grabs.Let us examine in detail.
People who work in their safe area do not necessarily expand their way of thinking, their perception may become one-sided, outdated and even irrelevant.This knowledge would help him/her survive in the local market but cannot stand a chance in the global stage irrespective of the field of study.
On the other hand, doing monotonous work can sometimes increase efficiency, improve productivity and even establish a group reputation.For instance our colony has a doctor who has been treating patients from a community centre for several years.It is said that our entire neighbourhood goes to this doctor because of his expertise .I’ve learned that he has never been overseas and has earned his qualifications locally yet his repute is of much awe.
Meanwhile , the benefits of change is immense ,it makes one, more adaptable to his/her environment.New methods of tackling a problem and critical thinking becomes routine.These are sought after skills by prospective employers.
I believe there should be a planned mix of change and security.Change for learning spells while monotonous work for perfecting our art.
