Explore Or Exploit?

For the past months, while I continue to work on my main thing – the self-help articles and videos you see now, I also want to try other industries at the same time, because I think life is an experiment and it doesn’t need to be written according to a certain script.

But there is a problem, the contradiction between exploration and exploitation.

The core of this conflict is:

We have limited time, but there is no limit to how well you can do something.

It takes a lot of time to do anything well, and the more time you put into it, the better you can do it. Even if you are already the best in the world, you can always do better.

Making sushi can be a craft for generations.

Not to mention learning to live a happy life, something that humans have been exploring for thousands of years and there are countless areas for improvement.

The letter T, the horizontal line is exploration, and the vertical line is exploitation. The question is when should we start walking down this vertical line?

Does walking on this vertical line mean that you will never go on that horizontal line?

The answer lies within oneself.

But to be honest, I don’t have an answer yet.

I wonder if you have the answer? Chat anytime if you have any ideas, I will reply as soon as I see it.
