How to be a slash youth?

Lao Yun has often heard the word "slash youth" recently.

When I first heard it, I felt novel and asked Du Niang.

Slash youth: refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of a single occupation, but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities.

These people will use diagonal lines to distinguish themselves in their self-introduction, such as Zhang San, reporter/actor/photographer, and diagonal lines have become synonymous with them.

For example, Cheng, who works in IDC industry, can become a writer who never stops writing during his break, or a nutritionist who creates a delicious dish on weekends. Cheng's multiple identities as a writer/nutritionist are a perfect interpretation of "slash youth". ?

The emergence of slash youth is not accidental, but an inevitable phenomenon of social development and a manifestation of progress.

Many celebrities in history are slash youths.

Xin Qiji, Wen Neng, "Drunk watching swords, dreaming of blowing horns for camping". He is heroic, majestic and friendless, and a "Jia sentence" is poured into ancient and modern China and foreign countries;

Wu neng led his troops to the front. He rode through the enemy camp with 50 soldiers, captured the traitor Zhang Anguo alive and took him back to the Southern Song Dynasty court for beheading. No one can beat him.

Xin Qiji's ci works can be synonymous with chopping people, comparable to Zhao Zilong of Changshan, running the army and creating a "Flying Tiger Camp" of the Tiejun of the era.

Just take out a talent, it is super-class, and it can also achieve great things. It's called diagonal power.

Look at our great modern comrade Mao Zedong. At first, he was in charge of political work, and has always been "Mao Zedong party member" and "Party Representative".

Before the autumn harvest uprising, he didn't really direct military operations. However, he is very interested in military command. When he was a student, he liked to delve into maps of China, examples of Chinese and foreign classic war history,

I even studied a pamphlet called Reading Notes on History and Geography, and studied the changes of mountains and rivers in ancient and modern times in combination with the wars in China, knowing that "mountains and rivers are easy, and ancient and modern attacks and defenses are appropriate".

When studying in Hunan No.1 Normal University, facing a group of routed troops besieged by the city, Mao Zedong, a teenager, also played an "empty plan" and handed over the equipment of the routed troops.

After the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Mao Zedong, as the core of the team, personally directed military operations.

From marching into Jinggangshan, to anti-encirclement, to crossing Chishui in Sidu, and finally to the strategic decisive battle, he applied guerrilla warfare to the extreme, showing his outstanding military talent and command ability.

From politics to military affairs, to philosophical theory and literary accomplishment, everything is master. This is called diagonal force out of the leaderboard!

In this era of increasingly fierce competition, the real "slash youth" all understand that only by doing well in one field can they gain the real right to speak.

The greatest significance of "slash youth" is that it can develop itself in multiple dimensions and make continuous progress. And when we excel in a certain field and then cross the border with other fields, this is the best strategy from mediocrity to Excellence. Wan Weigang once said, "You only need to reach the top 20% level in two fields, and you will certainly have a place in today's world."

I believe that many people are fans of Apple, and we will use Apple's products, perhaps because of its convenient, fast and humanized experience, but there is actually another very important reason, that is, Apple is beautiful.

If you have read the thick biography of Jobs, you will know that it records a very important experience of Jobs-he is a very important and devout Zen practitioner.

There is a so-called "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism" in China's ancient aesthetics, that is, the aesthetic display in four directions, and the core spirit of Zen is minimalism.

In the book "Multiple Professions: A New Model of Double Success in Work and Life", Marcy Erbor summarized the "slash youth" model into the following five types according to many cases and feedback for your reference:

1, combination of stable income and hobbies

This model is more suitable for people who are still in the stage of hobby exploration, or who like to earn enough to support their lives.

2. The combination of left brain and right brain

This is a mode in which rational thinking and creative thinking develop together. For example, I have a colleague who is both a computer programmer and a drama director. Reason and art are actually very complementary, which can bring us broader thinking.

3. The combination of brain and body

This mode can make people switch between mental work and manual work well, and can ensure physical and mental health and life balance. For example, a friend of mine is an art consultant and a Pilates coach.

4. Combination of writing, teaching, speaking and consulting.

This is a golden combination, and it is also the diagonal pattern of maciel Bor. Marcy Erbol is the vice president of a non-profit organization in the United States, as well as a writer, speaker, life mentor and other identities.

5. A job has multiple functions.

In fact, being a slash youth doesn't have to have multiple jobs or multiple identities. Even if you have only one job or identity, you are required not only to have a very comprehensive ability, but also to involve different functional fields. Then you are also a slash youth, so all CEOs meet this standard, but there will be more and more such roles in the enterprise.

"Slash youth" means that they can develop themselves in multiple dimensions and make continuous progress.

And when we excel in a certain field and then cross the border with other fields, this is the best strategy from mediocrity to Excellence.

For everyone who lives seriously, through exploring the self and the unknown, he can finally have a unique and wonderful slash life.

Let's explore ourselves and live a different life.
